Hiding

Lately your words feel so hollow
when they used to make me feel so safe and warm
Now when you open your mouth
it's like a swarm of bees stinging me
and I can't figure out
what this change is all about
Because you're hiding behind a curtain
Because you're hiding behind a curtain
So I take a little bite of your fruit
sweet on the outside but down at the root
you're full of poison, a bad seed
You say I never give you what you need
You're like a virus, like a weed
and you're slowly killing me
You're like a beautiful tree
that has lost all its green
So I had a funny little feeling
and I hoped I wasn't right
but I saw you with your arms around someone else tonight
and at least I understand now
why you're cold as ice to me
but if you were a man
you would open up to me
instead of hiding behind a curtain
you're just hiding behind a curtain
why you're hiding behind a curtain
you're just hiding behind a curtain...
oooohhhhh...
Hiding...
You're just hiding...
and when i try to kill you with kindness
baby your words feel empty
and I don't need this
I don't need your
Hiding...
