about

Make something beautiful out of a not-so-nice experience!

lyrics

Lately I've been wondering why I don't leave you
Because baby, all you do is criticize everything that I do
I know it's just your insecurity
But I don't know if you know the toll that it takes on me
Baby, please!

Lately, I've been flying so high you can't see me
'Cause baby to you I'm just another dot in the sky on a foreign marquee
I know that I want so desperately
For you to change your mind and start to believe in me
Baby, please

Open your eyes and try to find something shiny you can't get behind
Please open your heart and I will guarantee that I'll jumpstart
The spectacular light in me

I know there's a locked up mess of darkness in me
And I surely know it brings you down when I've lost the key to me
The key to me

I've got to open my eyes and I have got to see
All the shimmering that I can be
I've got to open my heart and I've got to guarantee
That I'll jumpstart the spectacular light in me

We've both got to open our eyes and we have got to see
All the shimmering that we can be!
Don't you know we've got to open our hearts
And we've got to guarantee
That our love will fuel the spectacular light in me.
