I've Been Shining For You

**I’VE BEEN SHINING FOR YOU** [Verse 1] Left my earrings by your bed Like a reason to come back You said, “Stay a little longer” Then you turned to face the wall In the morning, over coffee You were somewhere I couldn’t go I kept asking how you slept When there was more I needed to know [Pre-Chorus] I learned to read your silence You never learned my signs I made it look so easy You thought that I was fine [Chorus] I’ve been shining for you Leaving my light on past two Trying to be somebody You’d be scared to lose I’ve been shining for you Even when you wouldn’t come through Tell me, do you want my love Or just the way it looks on you? [Verse 2] At the party in your jacket With your hand against my waist You were proud to introduce me I went home still wearing that smile Then a week of “Sorry, baby” And a call you never made Funny how you hold me closer When there’s someone in the frame [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need another promise With no room for me inside If you only want the good parts You don’t get to call them mine [Chorus] I’ve been shining for you Leaving my light on past two Trying to be somebody You’d be scared to lose I’ve been shining for you Even when you wouldn’t come through Tell me, do you want my love Or just the way it looks on you? [Bridge] Tonight I’m putting on that dress The one you haven’t seen Meeting friends across the city Letting someone wait for me If you call, you call I don’t have to watch the screen I can miss you for a minute And still let the evening be [Final Chorus] I’ve been shining for you Now I want to feel it too There’s a song I love playing And I’m dancing all the way through I’ve been shining for you But that ain’t all I know how to do You can tell me that you love me I need something I can hold you to [Outro] I’ve been shining for you For you, for you You didn’t make this light You just walked into the room
