Text: Mason Jennings. Birds Flying Away. Confidant.

And with the world comes misery
Comes jealousy and pain
And with new friends come enemies
The fortune brings the fame

And oh, my dear confidant
(Tell me how to feel)
Tell me how to feel
(Tell me how you've been)

I've been overwhelmed
(Overwhelmed by what)
By what lies up ahead
Only when your heart is true
Only when your heart is true

Till you learn to trust yourself
Put your trust in someone else

And with new love comes mystery
Comes fear you can't define
And with new love comes history
Old stars that won't align

Oh, my dear confidant
(Tell me how to feel)
Tell me how to feel
(Tell me how you've been)

I've been overwhelmed
(Overwhelmed by what)
By what lies up ahead
Only when your heart is true
Only when your heart is true

Till you learn to trust yourself
Put your trust in someone else
