Tried to Hide Lyrics



You think you´re strong when you´re all restraining

You think you have when you´re only claiming

When I got near all I saw was fear

And I know that you tried to hide and you cried ´cause

you lied about it



You knew that you had when you tried to tell it

You thought that you were when you tried to sell it

And when I got near all I saw was fear

And I know that you tried to hide and you cried ´cause

you lied about it



You used the words but you´re only guessing

And you know I saw it was your brand new dressing

Well, you know the song, but you live it all wrong

And I know that you tried to hide and you cried ´cause

you lied about it
