Hide the Hurt - Macy Gray

Long sleeves, it’s a hundred degrees

But it covers up what is underneath

Sunglasses on but there’s no sun outside

You say the reason is 'cause the light hurts your eyes

And you walk into a door again last night

Funny how that keeps on happening

When they ask about it

You just lie about it

And you hide the hurt

And you hide the pain

When they ask how you’re doin'

You say you’re okay

Wrap the tears in lies

Cover all the scars

And they won’t see

How broken you are

Keep it in, keep it in

Don’t let nothin' show

Keep it in, keep it in

So no one will know

Keep it in, keep it in

Hide it away

In school he just keeps to himself

He goes home every day to a home that is hell

Learn not to fight and you learn not to feel

But the bruises inside are the ones that don’t heal

And they hit you more the more you ask them why

And you’re too ashamed to tell a soul

When they ask about it

You don’t talk about it

And you hide the hurt

And you hide the pain

When they ask how you’re doin'

You say you’re okay

Wrap the tears in lies

Cover all the scars

And they won’t see

How broken you are

But soon there’ll be a day that will come (Come)

When you’re gonna say you’ve had enough

And they will cross that line (They will cross that line)

For the last time

For the last time

You won’t take the hurt

You won’t take the pain

And they’ll know how you’re doin', yeah

'Cause you’ll be okay

There’ll be no no more lies

When your pride’s restored

And you won’t hide the truth anymore

Won’t keep it in, keep it in

Don’t let nothin' show

Won’t keep it hid, keep it hid

So no one will know

Won’t keep it in, keep it in

Hide it away
