Hide / I Do

(album: Forward / Slash - 2022)

We go out but always leave early
Make me duck down in your passenger seat
And I'll never tell you how much it hurts me, but it does

You like me as long as it's secret, you'll hold me if no one else sees it
And I'm starting to think that it's me that's, the fool

Cause I'd love to love you in the light
And I hate that you make me hide

We live in shadows and silence, you'll kiss me as long as I'm quiet
But still I check if your eyelids, are closed

Cause I'd love to love you in the light
And I hate that you make me hide

I hate that when you talk to me it's usually hushed
And I always have to guess whether or not you're in love
I don't know how much longer I can hold on
But I'd rather have you this way than no way at all

Cause I'd love to love you in the light
And I hate how easily you can make me cry
Don't wanna be the girl you only love at night
How I hate that you make me hide

I think you've met the girl you're gonna marry
And I wanna be happy for you
But the truth is it's still hard for me to imagine
That it won't be me saying "I Do"

And you'll cry as she walks the aisle
She looks so beautiful in white
While I won't even be invited
To see you make someone else, your wife...
