Erica Rabner - Shine So Bright Lyrics

Painted picture perfect
Not a wrinkle by design
Beauty marks to hide the scars
Painfully disguised

Acting like I'm fearless
But I'm far from feeling fine
I want the world to see me
All my blemishes and lines

Harder than it needs to be
To mute my busy mind
Shut it off, let the road unwind

Switch on like a light
Alone in the night
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright

Like stars that collide
Explode into life
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright

I can be a broken record
Known to spin out of control
Set the bar, then push it
Past the place I'm scared to go

Wish I knew how to escape
My artificial glow
Admit I'm superstitious
About the things that I don't know

If I can love me, let me be me
I can learn to touch the sky
Searching for a reason to ignite

Somewhere there's an other side
Where I don't need to close my eyes
From daydreams, dark and undefined

I won't ever apologize
For masking all my doubts with lies
I don't have to hide
I'll open up my mind

Switch on like a light
Expect me to shine
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright

Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
