Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek


You wear a mask, you don't want the world to see
The sadness you carry, that is hidden beneath
They think they know you, but they don't understand
When all you really want is that soft place to land


You're the one that always has a smile on your face
Trust me, I know, I've been there in your place
You don't want the world to know, you hide your pain
How to explain it to another, would they really understand?


Trust me, I've been there, I know how you feel
I know how it is to keep deep feelings concealed
You're in pain, and you think that no one gets you
Well friend I'm here to tell you, that I've been there too


You get home in the evening, your Mom asks if you're alright
You tell her everything's okay, you don't want her to see you cry
Then you run to your room, throw yourself on your bed
And then you believe they're right, that you're better off dead


Trust me, I've been there, I know how you feel
I know how it is to keep deep feelings concealed
You're in pain, and you think that no one gets you
Well friend I'm here to tell you, that I've been there too


I've been in that dark place, and felt so lost inside
I tried to be happy, but sometimes all I could do was cry
But I don't want you to give up, you are stronger than you know
Keep on fighting, keep smiling, that will weaken their blows


Yeah I've been there, its rough, I know you want to give up
But that's what they aim for, you can't let them do that anymore
Trust me, I've been there, I know how you feel
I know how it is to keep deep feelings concealed
You're in pain, and you think that no one gets you
Well friend I'm here to tell you, that I've been there too
Yeah I know how it feels, 'cause I've been there too
