The Used
Shine
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 colours 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 cuz 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
It's 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 cuz 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
It's 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 could never stay the same
It's always high, always low, and almost never in between
There is 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
It's my time to burn, my time to shine
Time to make it for myself

Make a choice, shine on shine on
Do it your way, shine on shine on
