It’s 2AM, I’m thinking too much again
All these thoughts rattling in my head
The dreams that I’ve watched come undone
The things I should have said and done
The loneliness I don’t address
The guilt and shame that I suppress
I do it in the name of sanity
To combat my insecurity
And I know you’re the same as me… at 2AM
chorus
Sunrise bring me your mask of confidence
Chase these shadow doubts away
Why can’t I live by my intentions not my weakness
Cause I’m living where good intentions lead
VERSE 2:
It’s 3AM, my eyes are wet
Tears of sadness and regret
The intolerance I often feel
My prejudice that’s all too real
I show impatience towards the one’s I love
Disdain for my God above
Frustration at my smallest child
I’ve only got her for a little while
I stand accused and convicted at my trial.. at 3AM
VERSE 3:
Another day, can I make amends
Beg forgiveness of my family and friends
For mistakes I’ve made I can’t erase
The pain that I have made them face
They’ve seen the pride, they’ve seen the fall
They’ve felt the impact of it all
Can they recognize through a faded smile
My weak repent, my self-exile
Can they hear my muffled and muted cry…on another day
