Hide and Seek


Can we play a game? One that involves no shame Childlike in our ways, But only losers place the blame You conceal just where you stay Be that is you may And I'll continue to try to find where your precious heart has been misplaced And I'll say I'm here To be all that you need I'll pick up all the pieces The beauty and the beasts I'll write a letter to the sky before I fall asleep To tell you that I'll always choose this foolish game Of hide and seek Talk to me, for my love's in disbelief Watching you a thousand miles away Seems closer in my dreams All the laughs and all the cries That I willingly embraced Seem to have no reflection On the countenance that I face And you'll say you're here But you're not sure of what you need Just give me a moments time To rid me of my greed Oh every night I try to pass this very cloud of grey But I'll always play...this foolish game Of hide and seek
