Nightlight

I know you're insecure about what you said and wore
Could you say something real like how you actually feel

Not what you think they want or what you think they need
Cause I know you're not so tough, you're actually pretty weak

Let's open up here for a change
And tell em things you tuck away
And say the things you never say

Tell em that you miss your mom
And tell em that you're not that strong
You're sleepin' with the nightlight on
To try and keep your demons gone

And how you're feelin' cold
In the middle of July
The shivers from your soul
They keep you up at night

Tell em that you miss your mom
Tell em that you're not that strong

Are you insecure they'll find out
Why you don't wear shorts when it's hot out
Why you hold back words when you go out

Cause saying what you felt has never panned out
Like everything you say you think it stands out
But nothings ever changed with a closed mouth

Let's open up here for a change
And tell em things you tuck away
And say the things you never say

Like what would come out of your mouth
If the sky was falling to the ground
And all that's left was here and now

Tell em that you miss your mom
And tell em that you're not that strong
You're sleepin' with a night light on
To try and keep your demons gone

And how you're feelin' cold
In the middle of July
The shivers from your soul
They keep you up at night

Tell em that you miss your mom
Tell em that you're not that strong

Like what would come out of your mouth
If the sky was falling to the ground
And all that's left was here and now

Tell em that you miss your mom
And tell em that you're not that strong
You're sleepin' with a night light on
To try and keep your demons gone

And how you're feelin' cold
In the middle of July
The shivers from your soul
They keep you up at night

Tell em that you miss your mom

Tell em that you're not that strong
