You Shine Brighter


I'm not used to this isolation again You drew me an image of desolation With a hint of imagination, you brought me to life And you colored all the whites and grays You stayed in the lines, Staining every line of tears That fell, you wiped before they left my face And you held me there, in a closed embrace "I'll never let you go" You swore to never let go So don't Because you're all that's keeping me afloat, from Running back to the pain I just left, and I Just really suck at adapting to new Situations alone, we can share a home I'll play the mommy, you've been the daddy Just let me take care of you, you and Baby I can be whichever you want Just stay, don't make me leave, because I'm starting to fall faster than ever before I'm hoping you're going to keep the door locked And sealed airtight, so I won't feel the cold night We'll lie there under the blankets on the bed Saying the things we'll never leave unsaid Because if you never say 'I love you' Then love is meaningless, and life becomes colorless Black and white pictures are only pretty in the light And color boost makes your face a pale white When we all know your colors shine brighter than anyone You shine brighter than anyone I know
