Shine the light into my eyes Blind me with your ignorance Show me every failure Every tragedy I've caused Shine the light into my eyes So I can see that I have you down If you're the only one that matters I guess I can't complain Shine the light into my eyes Tell me how I have to change Show me how I had it better than you And how I'll never know your pain Shine your light in my blind eyes It doesn't help, I still can't see Tell me why I even try If you'll always be better than me With my head beneath the ground I can see it all so clear I will always let you down But I will always be here Shine the light into my eyes Show me color in this grey Paint the world around me picture perfect So there is nothing I can say Shine your light in my blind eyes It's doesn't help, I still can't see Tell me why I even try When you'll always be better than me Have I made my mark on this grey world Shone a light into the heart of the things I've left behind I want to go back You know I do But I can't change what happened to you And I can't carry this cross any longer I built it with my own two hands I sealed it with my lack of strength And I collapse beneath it's weight again and again With my head beneath the ground I can see it all so clear I will always let you down But I will always be here
