things you try to hide

i can’t relax
maybe i can dream about relaxing
and maybe it will carry over
into the real world

it seems unreal
the way i feel
but somehow i feel this way
over and over and over…

there’s nothing good that comes from secrets revealed
and true motivations are never easily concealed

you really let me down
stop trying to explain
i wouldn’t do to you
the things you try to hide

i still have hopes
i still have things i want
and i will push things out of my way
just to get them even you

growing up means learning how not to trust
it’s a waste of time to worry about
as innocence turns to rust

you really let me down
stop trying to explain
i wouldn’t do to you
the things you try to hide

all things turn black
my fate is undecided now
i watch tomorrow struggle to its feet
and i wonder what tricks are up its sleeve

the things you try to hide…
