Louise Mosrie: Music
Hidden
(Louise Mosrie)
All I ever wanted was your attention
Validation that this love was worth my time.
All I ever got was the separation
Between what you say and what you do.
And I begged you for an explanation
Emancipation from your lies
But you just multiplied my confusion
I had to leave to survive.
You’re hidden, always hidden.
Your cards pressed so hard to your chest
Hidden, always hidden
What’s inside so fragile you must protect?
Frightened? yeah, we’re all scared to death
That someone might see who we are.
We’re ugly, brutal, and cruel
Our humanity undressed.
Failures, we’re all failures somehow
Inside, outside or both.
We’re dreamers, heroes, or harlots in disguise
So terrified we’ll be exposed.
We’re hidden, always hidden
Our cards pressed so hard to our chests
Hidden, always hidden
What’s inside so fragile we must protect?
