Brighter

So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you
Then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
Well always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away,
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

I'll wave goodbye (You shine bright)
Watching you shine bright (You shine bright)
I'll wave goodbye tonight (You shine bright)

I'm trying not to pretend anymore. I'm trying to be a better person. To put me second. Over the years, I have become a selfish person who wants everything and gives nothing. When things don't go as planned, I take it out on everyone else. I say, "Fuck you, I don't need you." But the truth is, I do. I need people who are there for me, but am I giving any reason for them to be there? No, I don't think so. So now, I'm trying to give you a reason. Believe me when I say that I am sorry for every horrible thing I've said, done, or insinuated. I'm sorry for giving you a reason to doubt me, a reason to say, "Fuck you." I'm going to be around for a while, and I'm just wondering if you will be too?
