Hiding My Heart
Adele Lyrics

This is how the story went
I will now tell you about an experience I had

I met someone by accident
I unexpectedly encountered someone

It blew me away
I was amazed by them

It was in the darkest of my days
I was going through a difficult time

When you took my sorrow and you took my pain
You helped me through my tough time

And buried them away, you buried them away
You made me feel better and eased my worries

I wish I could lay down beside you
I long for physical closeness with you

When the day is done
At the end of the day

And wake up to your face against the morning sun
To wake up and see you smiling in the sunshine is a dream

But like everything I've ever known
Sadly, like many things in life

You disappear one day
You will leave one day

So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away
I keep my emotions guarded to avoid being hurt

Dropped you off at the train station
I brought you to the train station

Put a kiss on top of your head
I gave you a loving farewell gesture

Watch you wave
I saw you wave goodbye

Then I went on home to my skyscrapers
I returned to my city life

And neon lights and waiting papers
The city scenery was familiar yet uninspiring

That I call home
The city, although not fulfilling, is where I live

Woke up feeling heavy-hearted
I started the day feeling depressed

I'm going back to where I started
I'm returning to my old ways and habits

The morning rain, the morning rain
The rain represents the sadness I feel

And though I wish that you were here
Although I would like to be with you

On that same old road that brought me here
Going back to my past path that led me to where I am now

It's calling me home, It's calling me home
My past is drawing me back to where I began

I can't spend my whole life hiding my heart away
I realize that I can't continue to close myself off from love
