Shine Lyrics by Imogen Heap

I Megaphone

1998

[Verse 1]
Rain drain my play away
Sun gun me down and burn me
Nature hates me today
My head distorts reality

[Pre-Chorus]
Madness just moved into my shadow

[Chorus]
Shine
I will not cry and I will not die, no
Shine
I will be there for me
Shine
I will not cry and I will be mine
I'll shine, shine

[Verse 2]
Who waltzed me into this?
Am I now stuck here forever?
Luck just gave me a kiss
Then lashed me down with a leather strap

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to learn to swim without any water
Trying just to begin just when you're in for the slaughter, yeah

[Chorus]
Shine
I will not cry and I will not die, no
Shine
I will be there for me
Shine
I'll be just fine if I stay all mine
I'll shine, shine, yeah
Shine
I will not cry and I will not die, no
Shine
I will be there for me
Shine
I'll be just fine if I stay all mine
I'll shine, shine, yeah

[Bridge]
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner
(Shine) You will love me as a winner

[Chorus]
Shine
Shine
I will be there for me
Shine
I'll be just fine if I stay all mine
I'll shine, shine, yeah
Shine
I will not cry and I will not die, no
Shine
I will be there for me
Shine
I'll be just fine if I stay all mine
I'll shine, shine, yeah

[Outro]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
