It's nights like this


It's nights like this that keeps me awake
When no one's around to hear my mistakes
I place each one of them on to different stars 
As a reminder of what I've done so far
I've been doing better than I did before but
I'm the type of guy that's never happy with what he's got 
A bit shy my voice starts shaking
As I talk about my day while the moon is listening
The moon and stars echoed the whole sky
They told me "Never look for yourself in someone else's eyes."
And I asked them altogether where can I start
They answered "You're not looking for yourself but your counterpart."
