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
