Hide My Love
The Glorious Sons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meghan, let me in
I can't believe we're doing this again
We'll keep the cab companies in business
Oh, God is my witness

I smash some orchids in the street
Sand below our bare feet
Got on my knees and cleaned the grass up
Oh, this aching in my gut

I can no longer hide you my love
Why do you hide me, my love?

Jimmy fuck off
Get away from my girl
Sick of you making me look bad
I know about wanting what you can't have

Is it all in my head?
I poured a glass of water on the bed
Why does she like me when I'm like that?
Oh, this love is a bloodbath

I can no longer hide you my love
Why do you hide me, my love?

Sarah, let me in
Would you at least stop laughing?
I know it's none of your business
Just go get your sister

I can no longer hide in this love
I can no longer hide you, my love
I can no longer hide you, my love
My love, my love
Why do you hide me, my love?

Let 'em know who I am
Let 'em know who I am
Let 'em know who I am
Let 'em know who I am
Let 'em know who I am
Let 'em know who I am




Let 'em know who I am
Let 'em know who I am
