Everything Was Hidden

Sweep it under the rug, but this rug's not big enough
No wonder it's taken me thirty years to fall in love
See, all of my friends have kids that are growing up
And I live alone with my dog in a loft I bought

Everything was hidden
Has been since we were children
It was do what I say
Not what I do
Did you forget to say
Son, I love you
Everything was hidden

Still don't understand why you can't open up to Mom
Maybe that's the reason I couldn't get close to God
Cause all I could see were the 10 years she drank away
But I guess she came back 'cause there is this thing called grace

Everything was hidden
Has been since we were children
It was do what I say
Not what I do
Did you forgot to say
I'm proud of you
Everything was hidden

Dad, I know you're not, one for words
But I am so, I'll go first

Everything was hidden
Has been since we were children
It was do what I say
Not what I do
But I forgot to say
Dad, I love you
'Cause everything was hidden
