The Sun Could've Been Brighter - Out of Flux

I'm brighter than the sun But I can't wait You're asking me to stay I can't escape I'm staying up all night To sleep all day I'm brighter than the sun But then one day All the things that the people say All the things that the people say The people say The people say Whoa Look, they're lying They can barely deny We're not driving We're just hitching a ride (Brighter than the sun) how'd we get here? They can barely deny (Brighter than the sun) we're not driving We're just hitching a ride I can't seem to find what we came here for Back, around New to me now to saying "No, no more" Back, around All the things that the people say All the things that the people say The people say The people say Whoa Look, they're lying They can barely deny We're not driving We're just taking a ride (Brighter than the sun) how'd we get here? They can barely deny (Brighter than the sun) we're not driving We're just hitching a ride I'm brighter than the sunshine Brighter as I burn I burn away All the things that the people say All the things that the people say The people say The people say All the things that the people say Have you ever had a daydream? Leaking through your day? Have you ever had a nightmare Bigger than everybody? Have you ever had a thought That you know won't go away? Have you ever had a nightmare? We're not driving We're just taking a ride Look they're lying They can barely deny (Brighter than the sun) the whole world now We can barely divide (Brighter than the sun) we're not driving We're just taking a ride Brighter than the sunshine Brighter as I burn I burn away

I told myself not to worry I told my head you would go away I told my heart not to hurry Thought the years would easy the pain I always said if I saw you I'd be fine with just being friends But now I'm caught up on the thought of us again 'Cause it could've been me I could've been with you Could've been It could've been me I could've been with you I could've been I told myself not to visit All those times that i had a chance I told myself I could live Seeing you with another man But the truth be told I'm dying I can't stand the way it is 'Cause your hand shoud be in mine instead of his It could've been me I could've been with you Could've been It could've been me I could've been with you I could've been I have chained myself to my mistakes I can't escape the way I let you down No, no, no (no, no, no) But tell me that there's time to change Say there's still a way to love you now Could it be me? Could it be with you? Could it be me? Could it be me? Could it be with you? Could it be? Could it be? Could it be? You gotta let me know I can't let you go So could it be? Could it be? I got nothing left to lose So now I'm asking you Could it be? Could it be? Could it be me? Could it be with you? Could it be? Could it be? Could it be me? Be with you Could it be?

If I'd stayed back home Never spread my wings Let you build that house Let you buy that ring If I'd put down my dreams to put you first I could've been her If I'd dyed my hair If I'd lost that weight If I'd worn that dress And let you change my name I'd still be wakin' up in your T-shirt I could've been her If I'd shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably could've made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screaming There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceiling If I'd buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I could've been her But that wouldn't be me No, it wouldn't be me To let you get away With every word you'd twist And every bed you made If I'd just hung around, not knowin' my worth I could've been her If I'd shut my mouth, faked that smile Probably could've made it work for a while Cried in the dark instead of screaming There wouldn't be red wine stains on the ceiling If I'd buried my feelings Pushed down the hurt and let you cheat I could've been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me If I'd just gave up The standards I have Let you hit your knees And beg me on back If I'd just sold my soul for a love that cheap I could've been her But that wouldn't be me That wouldn't be me
