Love, prepare yourself to shine
I have no other way
You should know by now


No, there's no reason to hide
We all know you've got pain

We all know you've got pride
I really love your pride


As I see my reflection
Shining from the corners of your eyes


Yes, it's my philosophy
That when I believe in you,
I believe in me, I believe in me


Love, I'm tired of nostalgia,
It's just trapped imagination

I'm happy with right now

No, it's not that I'm afraid

Of something I may find
It's just all those designs
We put on everything


Once we've had the experience
Romanticized until it's worth a while


My love, I want to know the truth
I want an empty room that I can scream in

Don't have to believe in

My love, I want to be myself

But not all by myself, not all by myself

Yes, it's my philosophy

That when I believe in you,
I believe in me, I believe in me


Love, I don't know how to say
It felt good to walk away
Take back some of what is mine

'Cause it's hard to see you shine
'Cause it' hard to see you shining (e)
When I'm here slowly dying


You know I don't feel proud to be so selfish
I don't really mean to bring you down


(Yes, it's my philosophy
That if I'm accepting you

You're accepting me, you're accepting me,
You're accepting me


My philosophy, my philosophy
