Shine True

I trimmed the edges, shaped the clay
Hoped you'd fit, but you slipped away
Built a dream with hands so tight
But love don't bend the way we like

I looked in your eyes, searching for a sign
Hoping you’d say I was right this time
But mirrors don’t speak, they just reflect
And love ain't built on false respect

I did it all, did it all for you
Every step, every fall, every high, every bruise
I’m not gonna lie, gave it all ‘cause I love you
But love ain't love if it don’t shine true

Oh-oh-oh, but it don’t shine true
Oh-oh-oh, did it all for you
Oh-oh-oh, but it don’t shine true
Love ain’t love if it don’t shine through

I chased the echoes, shaped the sound
Thought your heart would come around
But feelings fade like waves at sea
You can't force what’s meant to be

I looked in your eyes, searching for a sign
Hoping you’d say I was right this time
But mirrors don’t speak, they just reflect
And love ain't built on false respect

I did it all, did it all for you
Every step, every fall, every high, every bruise
I’m not gonna lie, gave it all ‘cause I love you
But love ain't love if it don’t shine true

Oh-oh-oh, but it don’t shine true
Oh-oh-oh, did it all for you
Oh-oh-oh, but it don’t shine true
Love ain’t love if it don’t shine through

Let it go, let it break, let it fade away
If love is real, it'll find its way
Let it go, let it break, let it fade away
If love is true, it'll choose to stay
