Hide Away
What exactly has happened to you in these last few years?
Did you get tired of crying pointless tears?
Was it that you got tired of giving your all?
Or maybe you’re just too tired to keep standing tall
Let me tell you, I’m sorry for what you’ve been put through
And for how much I’ve continued to disappoint you
But I can only be who I know to be
To be and do the things that set me free
You pride yourself on how well you do, how much money you make
Why all the sudden do I feel like you’re a fake?
You’ve changed, and certainly not for the better
Remember what you told me? Ahead, there is always better weather
Maybe I have gone against the ways you raised me
Do you think you pushed too hard so I could be who you wanted me to be?
I’m tired too, or do you even care anymore?
It’s looking to be about that time, I have to go out on my own to explore
It’s just too bad, because I thought I’d always have you by my side
But since all you do is complain, all I know to do is hide
