Hide Your Heart

[Ambient Intro] (...) [Instrumental] (...) [Verse 1] Come down to earth and put your feelings away Don't let them get the best of you, just push them aside each day Tuck them in a box, like a secret you can't share And hide them from the world, like a scar that needs repair [Build] (...) [Chorus] Hide your heart, and put on a brave face Don't let your emotions show, just find a way to replace The pain with a smile, and tears with better thoughts And pretend that everything's okay, even when it's not [Piano Solo] (...) [Verse 2] Life can be cruel, and the world can be cold It's hard to be open, when you're scared to be told That your feelings are weak, and your heart is a flaw So you hide them away, like a secret you can't afford to draw [Build] (...) [Chorus] Hide your heart, and put on a brave face Don't let your emotions show, just find a way to replace The pain with a smile, and tears with better thoughts And pretend that everything's okay, even when it's not [Instrumental] (...) [Segue] (...) [Bridge] But it's hard to keep up the act, when you're crumbling inside And the mask you wear is heavy, like a weight that you can't hide And sometimes you just want to break down, and cry And let your feelings out, like a stormy sky [Long Solo] (...) [Build] (...) [Chorus] Hide your heart, and put on a brave face Don't let your emotions show, just find a way to replace The pain with a smile, and tears with better thoughts And pretend that everything's okay, even when it's not [Instrumental] (...) [Outro] Come down to earth and put your feelings away But know that they'll always be, a part of you, every day [End]
