Hiding Away Again

I've been hiding away again deep in my art

Thinking of you but fear reaches up

My throat's so tight, my tears so hot

I can't stand still, hurting and running blind

How is it we let this happen,

You with your dark moods, me and my stormy ones

How is it we let this happen

Back in the same place we started from

How many times must we dance around before we get the steps down

I look up and you look away, then we switch places I feel love fade

Did we promise something, or was it a dream

How many opportunities do we throw away, how many chances does it take

How is it we let this happen

You with your perfect spirit, me and my broken one

How is it we let this happen

Back in the same place we started from

How many times must we play around before we get it right

Why did you have to go and believe in me

I was doing just fine before I let you in

Sometimes its best to stay in the background unnoticed and unheard

Sometimes its best to walk away no matter how bad your heart aches

How is it we let this happen

You with your golden smile, me with my timid one

How is it we let this happen

Back in the same place we started from
