[Verse 1]
I left my clothes on the chair
Like I might come back
The sink holds yesterday
In a rusted stack
My phone face-down again
Like it knows the truth
I keep the blinds half shut
So I can stay in mute
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know why
The room gets so small
When I try to stand
I hit the wall
[Chorus]
Don't ask me to shine
I can't tonight
I keep splitting the glass
Just to see a line
Don't ask me to shine
I can't tonight
If I hold too hard
I break my mind
[Verse 2]
The bus goes past my stop
And I let it go
My name on a wet receipt
I barely know
I eat from the same cold box
At the edge of the bed
Every little thing I try
Turns heavy in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know how
To wear my face
When the dark sits down
In my place
[Chorus]
Don't ask me to shine
I can't tonight
I keep splitting the glass
Just to see a line
Don't ask me to shine
I can't tonight
If I hold too hard
I break my mind
[Bridge]
Say my name once more
Maybe I can hear
A small piece of me
Through the static fear
If I don't answer right
Don't call it gone
I'm still in this house
Just hanging on
[Chorus]
Don't ask me to shine
I can't tonight
I keep splitting the glass
Just to see a line
Don't ask me to shine
I can't tonight
If I hold too hard
I break my mind
