I don’t want to be adored
Don’t want to be first in line
Or make myself heard
I’d like to shine a little light
To shine a light in your life
To make you feel loved

No, don’t want to be the only one you know
I want to be the place you call home

I lay myself down to make it so
But you don’t want to know
I give much more than I’d ever ask for

Will you see me in the end?
Or is it just a waste of time
Trying to be your friend?
Just shine, shine, shine
Shine a little light
Shine a light in my life
And warm me up again

Fool, I wonder if you know yourself at all
You know that it could be so simple

I lay myself down to make it so
But you don’t want to know
I give much more than I’d ever ask for

Say a word or two to brighten my day
Do you think that you could see your way

To lay yourself down at make it so?
But you don’t want to know
You take much more than I’d ever ask for
