Riley O'Neil - You Watch the Birds

I watch the ducks eating their crumbs together in the morning
They seem content, have more company than me
Build from the bottom, favorite colors and small talk
It's hard to open up to somebody
But I'm not like he was
I'm capable of love
I'm a boy you can trust
We lended love to someone else
And now we're shells
No love left for ourselves
I know that
Your afraid
You need time
But babe I'm right here
The last time
Your heart died
Scared to feel
Am I what you fear
You watch the birds singing their songs together in the morning
They sing songs of love
Songs you don't think you're meant to sing
Gather your stones up
One by one
Never seen a wall so tall
Than the one I'm breakin' in
Skinny dipping in strangers' pools
You chase butterflies, but beyond that you don't wanna feel
His lies to you left their mark
Wide eyes went dark
Love how you hide your scars
I know that
Your afraid
You need time
But babe I'm right here
The last time
Your heart died
Scared to feel
Am I what you fear
See your friends patching holes with imperfect seals
You wait for one that fits you right
The one that lets you heal
Tap of the rain on my windowsill
All the others stay dry
I prefer grey skies
Grey skies
You watch the birds singing their songs together in the morning
They sing songs of love
Songs you don't think you're meant to sing
