{intro} I hide my emotions like a game of hide and seek {verse 1} I’m sitting on my bed, typing out these songs, wishing for someone to listen I hope people don’t think i’m wrong in the head When they listen for a little too long And soon these tears on my face will start to glisten {pre chorus} I think a lot of things i know are too mature for my age But I can’t have someone else writing my page But I also don’t want to be out of control So I always make sure someone has a hold So i’ll think what i want to think and speak words i want to speak But I don’t want my emotions to hit a peak {chorus} I hide my emotions like a game of hide and seek I don’t want anyone to find out that I’m hurt And i don’t want the to give me pity, but I also don’t want them to leave And i don’t want people to find out I don’t want them to see I don’t want them to know the real me Because if they do, they’ll think I don't belong But at the same time I’ve bottled up my emotions for too long {post chorus} I hide everything like a game of hide and seek And i hold myself together with a piece of tape so I don’t spill out into the sea {verse 2} Sitting out in the sun Watching the kids play in the sprinklers, screaming and having fun Waiting for day i could have one But with who? Because I have no one And I know people say I’m too young to be worrying about that kind of stuff But i don’t want to be the only girl in school who doesn’t have someone to love I’m so hopeless i live vicariously through characters in books I envy the real girls’ looks And crave that kind beauty, that kind of body that boys bend over backwards to touch And i wonder if my friends think i’m not enough, or too much {pre chorus} I think a lot of things i know are too mature for my age But I can’t have someone else writing my page But I also don’t want to be out of control So I always make sure someone has a hold So i’ll think what i want to think and speak words i want to speak But I don’t want my emotions to hit a peak {chorus} I hide my emotions like a game of hide and seek I don’t want anyone to find out that I’m hurt And i don’t want them to give me pity, but I also don’t want them to leave And i don’t want people to find out I don’t want them to see I don’t want them to know the real me Because if they do, they’ll think I don't belong But at the same time, I’ve bottled up my emotions for too long {post chorus / outro} I hide everything like a game of hide and seek And i hold myself together with a piece of tape so I don’t spill out into the sea …
