The Girl She Tried To Hide
Broken underneath, worn and trembling, unnoticed all the while
For one to understand, meant to catch the slight of hand, that painted on her smile
'Cause she'd pretend to be, what you wanted to believe to forget the pain inside
Longing to be whole, she would sell her soul, to feel safe from time to time
So, on and on she went, and every day she spent, some piece she should have kept
Hiding there behind, the facade and the disguise, she could not disguard just yet
So, every day that passed, was always like the last, she often wondered why
Until she learned to see, that it was fine to be, the girl she tried to hide
'Cause lurking there unseen, had been her memories, and mistakes that she had made
But hidden deep inside, the truth denied the lie, that she should be ashamed
So, she learned to be ok, with just who she was today, and whom she'd always been
She opened up her eyes, she breathed for the first time, and the past became her friend
'Cause each tear that ever slipped, from eyelid to her chin, had somehow washed away
The pain that she had known, reveal the mercy she'd been shown, and taught her love along the way
And though she may never know, how she could ever go, from ashamed to finally free
She opened up her arms, she laid down all her guard, and embraced the mystery
