Written by Dylan LeSage

lyrics

So you stay up in your cloud that you exchanged for all that you are
And go fast and die young in your pride and your sports car
When my friends cry out, I do the best that I can
You shout out "hypocrite", and say I am less of a man

You once had a grip, your ego that had no room
Made your worst intentions slip, so tell me is this
How you treated your friends back then?
Shine on, my old friend
I don't want to hear how it's been.

You swore that I was the one who tore down your blue sky
Isn't it funny how mere time was the thing that made your good parts die?
And I've come to term that the pressed leaves that you used to bring to me
Oh, they never meant anything.

You once had a grip, your ego that had no room
Made your worst intentions slip, so tell me is this
How you treated your friends back then?
Shine on, my old friend
I don't want to hear how it's been.
Oh, how it's been.

Remember when you were drunk
And telling me how you saw your wedding?
Please send a message to the groom
That his best, his best man will not be attending.

Why the fuck did I ever consider you family?

You once had a grip, your ego that had no room
Made your worst intentions slip, so tell me is this
How you treated your friends back then?
Shine on, my bittersweet end.
I don't want to hear how it's been.

Why did I?
Oh I shouldn't have.
Shine on you crazy diamond,
Oh like you could've had
Oh no, shine on, why I couldn't have.
Shine on, I couldn't have.
