Starry Patterns

[Verse 1]
The darkness told me secrets that the daylight never could
And society gave lessons that I never understood
Walked through a thousand faces that I knew I'd seen before
Crying in the middle of a room and wanting something more

[Chorus]
I was suffering in silence, yeah, with no one there to see
But I saw your face, mama, in the stars looking at me

[Verse 2]
They taught me how to be, but not the way to be myself
Put my real heart on a forgotten, dusty shelf
Had to learn to trust the quiet when the world got way too loud
Find a little bit of solace standing lonely in a crowd

[Bridge]
Then the peaceful days came creeping, yeah the heavy nights went by
Just by tracing out your features in the pattern of the sky

[Outro]
The darkness taught me how to see.
