Lyrics Hide the Hurt - Macy Gray

Hide the Hurt

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
