Hide & Seek
A. R. Rahman & Qutub-e-Kripa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are we playing these games
Why we play games, hide n seek
Oh why i am walking on fire and ice again
Got me caught up in this scene
Don't break my heart like the last time i am warning you again
Don't pretend you wanna be here
Hmm I got this feeling that you're hiding, and i am seeking you again
Can we stop here in a heartbeat
I am waiting for you
Come out now
I am counting to hundred
I am waiting for you
Come out now
I am counting two hundred
Still waiting for you
I am gone now
I am not going to count no more
Done waiting for you
I am gone now
Looks like you are making a fool
Out of me now
Please don't ruin the game
I don't know what to say when you are fighting me and all i do is think about you all night all day
Stop hiding, you are doing it, just doing it again
I want out, of this game, if we could stop misunderstanding our moments that we feel on the way
I got you in my head, making me sick of all the pain
If you may think of all the reasons that we are finding are just disappearing on us, no point to stay
Go hide away. I won't be seeking you again
I am waiting for you
Come on now
I am counting to hundred
I am waiting for you
Come on now
I am counting two hundred
Still waiting for you
Come on now
I am not going to count no




So tired of hiding and seeking but
Looks like you made me a fool

Oh girl, you're shining
You know you're my diamond
You need reminding
This moment of timing when your
Soul needs aligning
It's me, you confide in
Seeking and hiding
You know where to find me babe
Feeling
Pressure
Pressure
Diamonds (you know where to find me)
What's it gonna be?
What we gonna do?
Here we go again
This ain't nothin' new
I ain't tryna run game but it's true, 'cah you
(Came and you made me feel)
You call me for help you gotta chill
Need time for yourself you gotta heal
This ain't something you felt it's how you feel
(You came and you made me feel)
Ayy, we built this all wrong I'll take blame
But instead of us tearing it down we'll rearrange, baby (don't let it fall)
Don't let it fall girl, don't let it fall
Don't wanna fight no more
Keep me where I belong
I've tried and I've tried
But I just can't hide from your love
Oh girl, you're shining
You know you're my diamond
You need reminding
This moment of timing when your
Soul needs aligning
It's me, you confide in
Seeking and hiding
You know where to find me, babe
Feeling

Diamonds (you know where to find me, babe)
Feeling

Pressure
Feel the pressure

You're my diamond, ooh
What we looking for?
Lemme search now
Take your shoes off, put your purse down
How you gonna tell me that it's never gonna work now?
Type of shit to make me put a verse down
Worse now 'cah we made our bed and gotta lay in it
Thought it wasn't hard for me but every day it is
Heartbreak's such a dark place but we stay in it
What I'm saying is exactly what I say it is
I found you
I feel your presence when I'm not around you
Queen in your city, they need to crown you
Holy water baby, let me drown you
Fire and water I gotta 'low you
Burn out then reappear
Light still guiding you home, you know I'm there
And rest assured if you ever needed help
Or just need a place to hide know I'll keep it to myself, word
Oh girl, you're shining
You know you're my diamond
You need reminding
It's moment of timing when your
Soul needs aligning
It's me, you confide in
Seeking and hiding
You know where to find me, babe
Feeling
Pressure
Pressure
Diamonds (you know where to find me, babe)

Oh girl, you're shining (pressure)
