Painted picture perfect
Not a wrinkle by design
Beauty marks to hide the scars
Painfully disguised
Acting like I'm fearless
But I'm far from feeling fine
I want the world to see me
All my blemishes and lines
Harder than it needs to be
To mute my busy mind
Shut it off, let the road unwind
Switch on like a light
Alone in the night
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
Like stars that collide
Explode into life
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
I can be a broken record
Known to spin out of control
Set the bar, then push it
Past the place I'm scared to go
Wish I knew how to escape
My artificial glow
Admit I'm superstitious
About the things that I don't know
If I can love me, let me be me
I can learn to touch the sky
Searching for a reason to ignite
Somewhere there's an other side
Where I don't need to close my eyes
From daydreams, dark and undefined
I won't ever apologize
For masking all my doubts with lies
I don't have to hide
I'll open up my mind
Switch on like a light
Expect me to shine
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
Always gotta shine so bright
