Shining

from The Real Thing by Tubby Love

/

about

The first time I really felt like myself it was the first of this year
It all felt so new when you happened to appear
So I fell face first into love despite all of my fears
I thought that you’d fallen too but now it’s clear

You only love me when I’m shining
You only hear me when I sing
You never hold me when I’m crying
And it takes the shine away from me

I wake up alone but I make up my mind
It’s time to move on – I’m gonna shine
So I wrote you this song to help me get by
I’ve been holding my tongue for too long but not this time

You only love me when I’m shining
You only hear me when I sing
You never hold me when I’m crying
And it takes the shine away from me

And it’s only when I’m shining
You’ll look me in the eyes
And I’m all messed up from trying
To keep you in my life

You only love me when I’m shining
So I hope you hear me when I sing
You never hold me when I’m crying
And it takes the shine away from me
