Hiding From You
I changed the roads I walked on
Changed every place I knew
Still somehow every shadow
Reminds me too much of you
I hide behind fake smiles
Pretending I moved on
Though every quiet evening
Feels heavier alone
You knew all my weak places
Every fear every scar
Now I keep all emotions
Locked away in jars
Friends say time will heal me
That hearts recover fast
Yet some wounds stay open
Held hostage by the past
I avoid old photographs now
Old songs upon the radio
Because memories arrive quickly
Like rivers after snow
Part of me still searches
For the person you once were
Before love became confusion
Before every line turned blurred
So I keep hiding softly
From all we used to be
Because loving you completely
Destroyed too much of me
Maybe someday I’ll breathe easy
Without fear chasing through
Until that day arrives
I’ll keep hiding from you
