Hide Away
Letters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd like to show you this world without pain,
Blue skies at dawn
'Cause I could have swore I saw you looking down,
For I don't know
I've felt the weight that held you down,
It's losing its hold

'Cause when you don't know
I'm asking, I'm begging you to

Please don't hide your love from me
'Cause I've been walking in my sleep
Please don't hide your love away
'Cause I've been tripping on the pain

I've seen your world under a glare of loneliness
Bound to pass by
And I've felt the rain that dropped you down,
It's losing control

'Cause when you don't know
I want you, I'm begging you to

I'm here trying to save you
Trying to hold your head above




Hold me when your down love
We could turn it all around
