Can'T Hide No Longer

I'm lost inside
I've tried so hard to hide the truth
I've tried too hard to not cry
But things get in my head
Repeating everything that was and was not said
But it doesn't matter anymore
Because I'm losing him
I've tried to explain
I've tried to hold back
I took it out all the wrong way
The scars will remain
All of this has driven me insane
I've bit my tongue and swallowed my pride
Because I can no longer hide
But it doesn't matter in the end
Because I'm going to lose him
Days will pass and memories will fade
But only the hurt caused will remain
I've been lost in time
Trying to hide the truth
Trying to not cry
But he's all in my head
Thinking of how to reply to all that was said
But it won't matter anymore
I've lost him
