I’ll hide away if I have to,
And having to is like all the time.
When my heart beats too fast,
And even when your hand is entangled in mine,
I have to hide away - but know I tried.
Other people just don’t understand me,
In the way that you do.
I try to be happy, meaning I put on a smile,
But deep down inside, all I want is to hide.
I can’t be around others,
And I think that is easy to see.
But I love all of your colours,
Around you - I can be me.
