Don't act surprised 'cause you realize nothing's meant to last You're going way too fast Count to ten, I'm turning back again and my life has gone too fast If your heart is going to crack, fall apart like that Did you ever guess someone could keep this mess No, you can't have it back See me shimmer in the night like a firefly, burning bright shimmer, baby, shimmer for your love Well, I say there's one more every day But you think it doesn't pay to treat you in that way So you'll laugh it up and turn away, Try to make the most of it I see you'll never appreciate the truth that is in play See me shimmer in the night like a firefly, burning bright shimmer, baby, shimmer for your love See me shimmer in the night like a firefly, burning bright shimmer, baby, shimmer for your love On a night that's made for love, look up to the stars above There's one, they say, for everyone that comes out when the day has gone But there'll never be a star for you because of what you put me through no, there'll never be a star for you 'cause God knows what you put me through See me shimmer in the night like a firefly, burning bright shimmer, baby, shimmer for your love See me shimmer in the night like a firefly, burning bright shimmer, baby, shimmer for your love for your love.
