Hideaway
Ben Hazlewood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see now heaven does not exist
And I've been fighting to find my own
So far from home, home
Against the odds I got through the night
And now I brace for the coldest light
I just don't know how I could have known
Take what you want I can't give any more
So close to falling and losing it all
I'm done with fighting denying just what they say
So I'll hide away, hide away, hide away
And I'm still missing it every time
I guess it comes with the frame of mind
Because I know just how low I'll go
To feel this hollow
Take what you want I can't give any more
So close to falling and losing it all
I'm done with fighting denying just what they say
So I'll hide away, hide away
Here's to hoping
That I won't stay broken
My heart will open
Again
Here's to hoping
That I won't stay broken
My heart will open
Again
Take what you want I can't give any more
So close to falling and losing it all
I'm done with fighting denying just what they say
So I'll hide away, hide away, hide away
So I'll hide away, hide away

I wish that I could wake up from this
I long for an awakening to escape from my current reality
I see now heaven does not exist
I've come to realize that a perfect world does not exist
And I've been fighting to find my own
I've been struggling to discover my own path
So far from home, home
Feeling distant and disconnected from a place of familiarity
Against the odds I got through the night
Despite challenges, I managed to survive the darkness
And now I brace for the coldest light
I prepare myself for the harsh and unwelcome reality
I just don't know how I could have known
I can't understand how I could have predicted this outcome
Now I'm alone, alone
Feeling isolated and abandoned
Take what you want I can't give any more
I have nothing left to offer, exhausted from giving
So close to falling and losing it all
On the verge of collapse, risking losing everything
I'm done with fighting denying just what they say
I refuse to continue battling and rejecting their words
So I'll hide away, hide away, hide away
I will seek refuge and conceal myself from the world
And I'm still missing it every time
I continue to long for something I can't attain
I guess it comes with the frame of mind
Perhaps it's a product of my way of thinking
Because I know just how low I'll go
I am aware of the depths I will sink into
To feel this hollow
In order to experience this emptiness within
Here's to hoping
Expressing a desire for a positive outcome
That I won't stay broken
Hoping to heal and not remain damaged
My heart will open
Anticipating the ability to love and trust again
Again
Once more, with renewed hope
So I'll hide away, hide away
I'll continue to seek seclusion and concealment
