Shine

The Used · Vulnerable [2012]

How long was I sleeping?

Did you wake me?

Didn't feel like all that long

Do I see the morning?

No it can't be

Happened to me



I've been stuck in the quicksand

More the pavement

Colors black and white too long

I could black out completely

But I made me

Make my way back slowly



It's my time to shine

Do it my way

Cause it's my time baby

It's my time to burn

Start a fire

Be the one and only

I said it

I meant it

I never will forget it

Change never happens by itself

My time to burn

My time to shine

Time to make it for myself



How long was I buried?

Couldn't find me

Laid to rest my heart beats on

Kept track of the symptoms

Could've killed me

But you will see



I'm not broken I could be

Yeah you would be

But my heart is much too strong

Never thought it was easy

But I made me

I made me slowly



It's my time to shine

Do it my way

Cause it's my time baby

It's my time to burn

Start a fire

Be the one and only

I said it

I meant it

I never will forget it

Change never happens by itself

My time to burn

My time to shine

Time to make it for myself



Don't be sad I know you will

It's just the way it has to be

I can never stay the same (never stay the same)

It's always high or always low

And almost never in between

There is no one left to blame (no one left to blame)

I can't stay, I have to change



It's my time to shine

Do it my way

It's my time baby

It's my time to burn

Start a fire

Be the one and only

I said it

I meant it

I never will forget it

Change never happens by itself

My time to burn

My time to shine

Time to make it for myself



Make a choice

Shine, shine

Do it your way

Shine, shine
