A Place to Hide

You tried to call me on my phone
But don't you know I'm never home
You had a place where you could hide
To shield yourself from darkest times

Those words they hit me so fast
I couldn't say those things back
And now I'm looking for a way out
But that's not what I'm all about

Don't panic, hear them out
Mind's defaulting to doubt
Hoping that this bad news is just a dream
No time to say a goodbye even if I could just try
Still hoping this bad news ain't what it seems

A second chance, or just a break
But now it's too late to take
Now you sleep never to wake and I can't take that

You tried to call me on my phone
(On my phone)
But don't you know I'm never home
(Never home)
You had a place where you could hide
(Where you hide)
To shield yourself from darkest times
(All those lies)

I wish I answered cause I never knew this day would come
And all those times we spent
You never showed that you were done

My mind is racing and I keep hoping this is a lie
And all these people passing don't know that lives are crashing

A second chance, or just a break
But now it's too late to take
Now you sleep never to wake and I can't take that

You tried to call me on my phone
(On my phone)
But don't you know I'm never home
(Never home)
You had a place where you could hide
(Where you hide)
To shield yourself from darkest times
(All those lies)

I wish I answered but I never knew this day would come
And all those times we spent
You never showed that you were done

I don't know how you masked it all so we could never tell
And built a wall to keep it back and hide your demons well
It seems like yesterday when we last talked about our plans
Both looking forward to the future, why life shouldn't end

When you are down, don't act on it
Life gets better, it's a promise
