Lyrics
Hiding (Music by Mill's End, lyrics by Jeff Bump) copyright 2012
There was a time when it all looked so bright
Putting the blame on everyone in sight
Waking up now and it's falling apart
Waiting for someone to give you a brand new start
Everyone owes you a piece of their dream
Look at the thing that you wanted to be and it's gone, it's all gone
Where will you hide when the feeling's gone
Where will you run when it's all but over
Where will you hide when the feeling's gone
You're just hiding, hiding within yourself
Hiding a life that no one ever sees
The mistakes that you make are never free
Someone was there to clean up the messes
Time has run out as the matter progressed
Digging a hole you can't climb out
Biding your time for a plan that has gone all wrong, it's all wrong
Where will you hide when the feeling's gone
Where will you run when it's all but over
Where will you hide when the feeling's gone
You're just hiding, hiding within yourself
