Samantha Clayman - Hide Myself

All of these words keep eating me up inside
Want to spill out, so why do I keep trying to hide?

I want to build mountains
But I'm still haunted
By all the things I never said
I want to scream loudest
But I'm still crowded
'Cause I'm still fighting all the regret

Why do I hold my breath?
I should know that it just makes me a wreck
Why do I bite my tongue?
I should know that it just makes me numb
Why do I hang on to every dang word?
Knowing that it just can't be right
Why do I fight back everything I know?
'Til I no longer have any might

Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?

This is my time, I can feel it inside my bones
So why do I still crumble, only fixing myself when I'm alone?

I'm hearing all these voices
Saying I have choices
So why's it seem like there's only one?
You say it should be easy
But it's not, believe me
This way of life is not just for fun

Why do I hold my breath?
I should know that it just makes me a wreck
Why do I bite my tongue?
I should know that it just makes me numb
Why do I hang on to every dang word?
'Til I just fade into the unknown
Why do I fight back everything I know?
'Til I just want to lose control

Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?

Why do I hide myself?
Where dreams don't come true
And I'm way out of view
Myself, tonight
I hate this self-doubt
'Cause I just want to shout
Why won't the words come on out?
'Cause I just want to shout

Why do I hold my breath?
I should know that it just makes me a wreck
Why do I bite my tongue?
I should know that it just makes me numb
Why do I hang on to every dang word?
Knowing that the world is waiting
Why do I fight back everything I am?
'Til all I am is disappointing

Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?

Why do I hide?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide?
