Its only now its clear to me
That I don't sit and let this breathe
Like I used to
Its only now its clear as day
I hold my tongue, I don't say what I ought to
What I'd like to
Is could you know me?
Could you love me?
And I can stop hiding
Its only when I'm all alone
That I fall down to the bone
And I see me
Like I ought to
Its only when you turn the key
That I hide, that I lock me from the real you
I hide from you
But could you know me?
Could you love me?
And I can stop hiding
I can stop hiding
Could you know me?
Could you love me?
And I can stop hiding
I can stop hiding
This is where it ends
Banners fall to gold
Free of my pretence
That's all done now
Ah
Oh
Could you know me?
Could you love me?
And I can stop hiding
I can stop hiding
Could you know me?
Could you love me?
And I can stop hiding
I can stop hiding
Could you know me?
Could you love me?
And I can stop, I can stop, I can stop
Could you know me? (This is where, this is where)
Could you love me? (This is where it ends)
And I can stop hiding (This is where, this is where)
I can stop hiding (This is where it ends)
This is where it ends
My banners fall to gold
Free of my pretence
That's all done now
Its just today the words have come
That old is done
That I won't run like I used to
Its just today that I see, that you don't smile at fake or real
So I will stop hiding
