Love, prepare yourself to shine I have no other way You should know by now
No, there's no reason to hide We all know you've got pain We all know you've got pride I really love your pride
As I see my reflection Shining from the corners of your eyes
Yes, it's my philosophy That when I believe in you, I believe in me, I believe in me
Love, I'm tired of nostalgia, It's just trapped imagination I'm happy with right now
No, it's not that I'm afraid Of something I may find It's just all those designs We put on everything
Once we've had the experience Romanticized until it's worth a while
My love, I want to know the truth I want an empty room that I can scream in Don't have to believe in
My love, I want to be myself But not all by myself, not all by myself
Yes, it's my philosophy That when I believe in you, I believe in me, I believe in me
Love, I don't know how to say It felt good to walk away Take back some of what is mine 'Cause it's hard to see you shine 'Cause it' hard to see you shining (e) When I'm here slowly dying
You know I don't feel proud to be so selfish I don't really mean to bring you down
(Yes, it's my philosophy That if I'm accepting you You're accepting me, you're accepting me, You're accepting me
