you shine brighter than anyone.

this is one of those nights when someone else's words can do much more justice than my own. so thank you, Paramore, for taking my heart and putting it to music.

and i’ve always lived like this

keeping a comfortable distance

and up until now

i had sworn to myself that i’m content

with loneliness

because none of it was ever worth the risk

but you.. are.. the only exception

i could follow you to the beginning

just to relive the start

and maybe then we’ll remember to slow down

and all of our favorite parts

help me come back down

i’m high above the clouds

you know i’m suffocating

but i blame this town

why do i deny

the things that burn inside?

down deep i’m barely breathing

but you just see a smile

you made yourself a bed

at the bottom of the blackest hole

and convinced yourself that it’s not the reason

you don’t see the sun anymore

and when it rains

will you always find an escape?

just running away

from all of the ones who love you

from everything

take your time

take my time

take these chances to turn it around

just take these chances,

we’ll make it somehow

‘cause i’ve seen love die way too many times

when it deserved to be alive

i’ve seen you cry way too many times

when you deserve to be alive

so you give up every chance you get

just to feel new again

my pain and all the trouble caused

no matter how long

i believe that there’s hope

buried beneath it all

and hiding beneath it all

and growing beneath it all

i drowned out all my sense

with the sound of its beating

and that’s what you get

when you let your heart win

and if it ends today

well i’ll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
