All I wanted was to see you shine
And to be there when you did
All I wanted was a hand in mine
I had a place where it would fit
I always wondered what was in your head
The way you read my mind
I always wondered what was never said
Each and every time
a-ha
In every word we wrote, in every line
There was a desperate note
We had a contract but never signed
I couldn't get your vote
You saw the sadness in these eyes
That no one ever sees
The bruises hidden here behind the smile
A kind of stiff unease
a-ha
Just when I couldn't get you out of my mind
You start to back away
I always wondered, baby, one more time
It wouldn't hurt would it?
a-ha
I want to see you shine
I want to see you shine
I want to see you shine
Let me see you shine
All I wanted was to see you shine
