Hide Away

People always
Act like I have seen
Way more shit than
I should by my twenties

People say I've lived
A thousand lives
Before I figured out
What to do with mine

Always elusive
Always a freak
Tell me to open up but
What if you leave?

Too many sad stories
I've lived a fragile life
Remembering what they say
I should leave behind

Hide away
Hide Away
Hide Away your feelings
Another day, another way
Will make them fade away
Hide away
Hide away
Hide away your worries
I've always been told there's things that I shouldn't say

People always like to
Make up these stories
Of who I am and
What I've come from

People always think that
Because I'm so quiet
That I've had a history
Of being on the run

I've had my share of demons
I've had my share of heartbreaks
Had too many feelings
Give me a stomachache

I've hit rock bottom
But I shouldn't say that
I've hit it before
But I shouldn't tell you
That I've always wanted more
That I've always been way more than what you see

Hide away
Hide Away
Hide Away your feelings
Another day, another way
Will make them fade away
Hide away
Hide away
Hide away your worries
I've always been told there's things that I shouldn't say

So scream them out
Speak them loudly
And be yourself
Write your own stories

I used to hide away
I used to shy away
I used to run away
But they'd say

Hide away
Hide Away
Hide Away your feelings
Another day, another way
Will make them fade away
Hide away
Hide away
Hide away your worries
I've always been told there's things that I shouldn't say

Don't you Hide away
Don't Hide Away
Don't Hide Away your feelings
Cry it out, Scream and shout
You will find a way
Don't Hide away
Don't Hide away
Don't Hide away your worries
We've always been told there's things that we shouldn't say

Mom always told me
That I should keep my mouth shut
Mom always told me
I should walk but should never strut

My dad always told me
That I would succeed
But only if I became
What they wanted me to be
