00:13I used to tell you I was happy, even when the tears were near
00:19I kept my deepest fears a secret, so you'd never see them here
00:26I wore a smile like it was armor, and I learned to play the part
00:32But every night when I was lonely, I could feel it in my heart
00:38Nobody knew the things I carried, nobody saw me fall
00:44I was becoming someone different, just to please them all
00:49That's when I learned to hide, every tear I had inside
00:55I buried all the words I needed, a smile
00:59I was drowning in the quiet, while pretending I was fine
01:05And I lost a little of myself, every single time
01:11I, I stopped believing in forever, when forever turned to dust
01:19I stopped revealing all my feelings, when they became too much
01:26I watched the people walk right past me, while I stood there in the rain
01:31And every time I tried to open up, then somewhere in the darkest hour
01:38A little voice remained, it told me I was worth much more than all
01:43Than all the tears and pain
01:46That's when I learned to hide, every tear I had inside
01:51I buried all the words I needed, deep beneath a smile
01:58I was drowning in the quiet, while pretending I was fine
02:05And I lost a little of myself, every single time
02:10But I don't wanna hide forever, I don't wanna disappear
02:15I wanna say the things I'm feeling
02:19Without living in my fear, I'll let the tears fall when they find me
02:25I'll let my broken heart be seen
02:28But maybe being perfect is a way to become free
02:33I don't have to hide tonight
02:35I can finally face the light
02:38All the words I kept inside me
02:42Have a chance to come alive
02:45I was fine
02:46I was buried behind
02:48I'm reclaiming every piece
02:51Only one breath at a time
02:53I don't have to hide
02:55I can finally be alive
