The world couldn't tolerate someone so loud They can't love someone too proud They avert their gaze from someone so bright Because the warmth I gave was never light They called me the sun, I thought that was praise But they reside in the shadows from my loving rays I tried to shine brighter to be seen But it appears loving me was a sin Because I loved too loud. Because my love was too bright. So I took back my rays maybe they'll love me so I stopped my singing I was indeed too loud Too loud to be loved. Too bright to be seen.
