I don't want to be adored

Don't want to be first in line

Or make myself heard

I'd like to bring a little light

To shine a light on 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 on 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

You take 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 and make it so?

But you don't want to know

You take much more than I'd ever ask for
