Nighthawk

Tell me everything I need to hear in life,
Your plans for me all through the night
Will I be the one to let you down?

How I wish to spend a single day
In a better place where I can be myself
Something's wrong, can't you see that I'm not well?

I tried to keep up my disguise
But I looked him in the eyes
I want you to know why I'm so afraid

If my secret shadow could walk the street
It would maybe change the way you see me
But that's not the way it has to be
I know it's not easy

And if my eyes were windows to my mind
You'd see my life unwind
I can't change and I won't talk
So I'll toss and turn in bed like a nighthawk

Fear is not my only problem
My cowardice can't hope to solve them
And how am I to seize the day?
I'll say the things I need to say and

You need to see no one's at fault
I don't want you to blame yourself
I've ran through each scenario
But that's not how the story goes

A shattered sky appears to break behind those eyes
We've been waiting for this all our lives
Then I push it to the sidelines

'Cause my fears and doubts are the things that I can't do without
And my shallow grave is being made
And I'm on the verge of burning out

I'm shifting weight
I don't know if it's here to stay
If I could only tell them, things would fall right into place

If my secret shadow could walk the street
It would maybe change the way you see me
But that's not the way it has to be
I know it's not easy

And if my eyes were windows to my mind
You'd see my life unwind
I can't change and I won't talk
So I'll toss and turn in bed like a nighthawk

Someday, my luck will change
And I'll be myself around you
Some ways, I'll be the same
But my confidence is brand new

I don't know if my head
I don't know if I
I don't know if my mind
My mind is gonna make it
My hopes are slowly breaking down

If my secret shadow could walk the street
It would maybe change the way you see me
But that's not the way it has to be
I know it's not easy

And if my eyes were windows to my mind
You'd see my life unwind
I can't change and I won't talk
So I'll toss and turn in bed like a nighthawk

Fear is not my only problem
My cowardice can't hope to solve them
And how am I to seize the day?
I'll say the things I need to say and

So I'll be clear, I'm searching for acceptance here (You need to see no one's at fault)
I'm still the same please have no fear (I don't want you to blame yourself)
But I'm scared you'll never see me the same (I've ran through each scenario)
But that's not how the story goes

So I'll be clear, I'm searching for acceptance here (Fear is not my only problem)
I'm still the same please have no fear (My cowardice can't hope to solve them)
But I'm scared you'll never see me the same (And how am I to seize the day?)
I'll say the things I need to say and
