Shine On Me

You are the cross that I bear
You are the colorful clothes I wear  
 
You are my stumble and my fall  
But you've always been there through it all  
 
You don't always know exactly what I mean  
Though you've always been the best part of my dream  
 
It doesn't have to be because we're lovers  
It doesn't have to be because there's no others  
 
I give you my all and you've become a part of me  
And I'll lay it all out for the world to see  
 
When my life is laid bare on the stage  
When my heart becomes the ink on the page  
 
And you'll be there to read my lines  
To polish my love until in shines  
 
You are the cross that I bear  
My curses and my prayer  
 
As long as you're mine  
My love will continue to shine
