Hiding

I’m hiding from the world
Hiding behind my heart.
I don’t want them to find me.
But my hiding place is shrinking
As you beat it down.

I’m hiding from love
Behind my heart.
It can’t find me here.
Nobody can.

I’m hiding from questions
Behind my breaking heart.
The why are you crying?s
And the What Did I Do?s
Just make me refuse.
I’m not coming out.

But now everybody can see me.
I’m out in the open
Because it’s hard to hide behind your heart
When your heart is broken.
