lyrics
I WONDER WHY YOU HIDE
I wanna take this worry of mine
& lock it away in the dark
where the light of the morning sun don't shine
but it's under the skin, can't leave it alone
I gotta know if it's into the blood
If it's down to the bone
Sitting here beside you on the early morning train
I come around to thinking that it's all some wicked game
you stare out the window like you've never seen the rain
and you won't look me in the eye
I wonder why you hide
Lord knows how I've tried
but it's hard to relax
when you live on the edge of a knife
cos nothing I say is getting through
& nothing I do ever seems good enough
honey there's no pleasing you
I'm tired of waiting now the night is getting late
harsh light of the Seven Eleven shining in your face
I want the truth I've only got one life to waste
come on darling, please don't lie
I've seen it in your face
felt it in your cold embrace
like a black cloud in the sky
I can't reach you in that place
now I've fallen from your grace
come on darling, please don't lie
I wonder why you hide
Once your voice was the brightest thing that I had ever heard
sweet whisper coming down the line like a softly singing bird
now it seems every time you speak I'm waiting for the final word
if it's over tell me tonight
I wonder why you hide
