lyrics

Oh you made my heart sing
Just like a bird in the spring
But you kept me on your finger
Like a yo-yo and string.

I put everything into givin’ you wings
But you tied my hands with silence
And your wall-like mood swings
You are The Shing
You are The Shing
You are The Shing and I don’t ever wanna see you again.

Oh was it lies that you told
Or just a form of decode
To your manipulations my heart was vulnerable
It was a passionless waste
Of the time of our lives
Oh maybe I was too honest
You were in disguise.

You are The Shing.
I’ve been The Shing
Cause it’s the truth the truth the truth
Or just an alibi.
We’re all The Shing
That’s why we sing
Oh, to hold the devils out of us and hang em to dry.

You are The Shing.
You are The Shing.
You are The Shing and I don’t ever wanna see you again.
