I couldn't look into her eyes
Afraid that she might see
The person hiding there inside
The person that was me
The well of hell and shame inside
The failure that I've been
The shell you see, not really me
My mask for life's routine
I can't let you see
The mess that is me
I can't put my heart on display
Afraid to be seen
Afraid I might see
That's why, I'm hiding my eyes
For deep inside a wounded heart
Afraid again to soar
Lie's, broken, battered, shattered
Discarded on the floor
Back then I dreamed. The world it seemed
A magic place to be
But life with you changed all that
Changed all that I could be
You stole my dreams, ripped up my seams
With your cruel reality
Got in my head and made me dread
Everything that's me
You broke me down, trashed my soul
Ripped me all to shreds
And left me lying everywhere
A wish that I were dead
I can't let you see
The mess that is me
I can't put my heart on display
Afraid to be seen
Afraid I might see
That's why I keep hiding my eyes
Guitar solo
I just can't keep hiding my eyes
