What You Hide
AM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You sit silent thinking about
What we used to be
At least that's the impression I get
When you keep
Reaching out to me
It's not hard to guess why
I know exactly
What you want from me
Your point of view
Is probably better
Being that you were the one
With the power
And I have so many questions
Like did you like the way
You looked on me
So is that how you cope
With her settling for you
Daydreams of me
And what you
Thought we could be
If I had to take a guess
The plan was to take advantage
But I doubt you knew I'd
Be all you could think about
I'm more intoxicating
Than you expected
You may be older
But I'll always be more mature
But I guess, I'm writing this song
And it's, pretty angsty
But you never apologized
So I guess I have decided
To hold a grudge
Don't worry
You're not the only one
Who cannot get the taste
Out of their mouth
And you can take solace in knowing
At least you've succeeded
In getting a song out of me
You don't deserve it
I know exactly what you
Want from me
Your point of view
Is probably better
Being that you were the one
With the power
And I have so many questions
Like did you like the way
You looked on me
So is that how you cope
With her settling for you
Daydreams of me




And what you thought
We could be

LYRICS :
Wanna believe, wanna believe
That you don't have a bad bone in your body
But the bruises on your ego make you go wild, wild, wild, yeah
Wanna believe, wanna believe
That even when you're stone cold, you're sorry
Tell me why you gotta be so out of your mind, yeah
I know you're chokin' on your fears
Already told you I'm right here
I will stay by your side every night
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
I know you need, I know you need
The upper hand even when we aren't fighting
'Cause in the past, you had to prepare every time, yeah
Don't wanna leave, don't wanna leave
But if you're gonna fight then do it for me
I know you're built to love, but broken now, so just try, yeah
I know you're chokin' on your fears
Already told you, I'm right here
I will stay by your side every night
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah
I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
Going sick in the head tryna get you there
And I know it's hard for you, but it's not fair
It's not fair
I don't know why you hide from the one
And close your eyes to the one
Mess up and lie to the one that you love
When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
You can be kind to the one that you love
Ah

When you know you can cry to the one
Always confide in the one
