Brighter Lyrics
Paramore
Lyrics
So this is how it goes?
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know
That it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But, you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time
No, not this time
Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
Well always know that you shine brighter
Than anyone does
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know
That it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But, if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time
No, not this time
If you run away now
Will you come
Back around
And if you ran away
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know
That it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time
No, not this time
And I'll wave goodbye watching you shine bright
And I'll wave goodbye tonight
