Hide Myself by Samantha Clayman Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
All of these words keep eating me up in inside
Want to spill out, so why do I keep trying to hide?

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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?
[Post-Chorus:]
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?

[Verse 2:]
This is my time, I can feel it inside my bonеs
So why do I still crumble, only fixing myself when I'm alonе?

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
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

[Chorus 2:]
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?
[Post-Chorus:]
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus 3:]
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?
[Post-Chorus:]
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide myself?

[Outro:]
Why do I hide?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide?
Why do I hide myself?
Why do I hide?
