Hide

Plastic smile, feigned excitement
This is how I hide from you
So I don't trouble you
With the pain inside me

I struggle on, on alone
'Cause I'm afraid of what you'll say
If you find out what's wrong
Could you even help me

And I cry, feeling like there's no one on my side
Then I wipe the tears from my eyes
Put on a full set of make-up
So you can't see how I'm hurting inside
And move on with my life
And I hide

Discouragment, frustration,
Weighing me down, I can't get out
Why does it seem it always turns
Out to be this way,
Watching you walk away
No farewell, no backward glance,
Just your back, fleeing fast
Out of my life

And I cry, feeling like there's no one on my side
Then I wipe the tears from my eyes
Put on a full set of make-up
So you can't see how I'm hurting inside
And move on with my life
And I hide

Crying out, I'm crying out in hiding
This is me, open before you
Look inside, laugh if you might
I cannot be alone

Do you cry, feeling like there's no one on your side
Then you wipe the tears from your eyes
Put on a full set of make-up
So I can't see how you're hurting inside
And move on with your life
And you hide
So we hide
