Look up at the sky as it rains
Do you think that it will wash away
The letters you wear on your face
That scarlet letter A
Hide if you like
Do you think that you can get away
Watch your life
Through the looking glass, nice and safe
Block out anyone who lets you in
They’ll just hurt you, it ain’t worth it
Hide don’t let them find you Hide
Look down at the ground, don’t raise your gaze
You know that you still wear those stains
The time passes by, you’re still left with the shame
Your scarlet cheeks remain
Hide if you like
Do you think that you can get away
Watch your life
Through the looking glass, nice and safe
Block out anyone who lets you in
Hide your pain and put on a grin
Hide, don’t let them find you, Hide
Sing
And they may just know the way you feel
Anything
Is better than having to deal with yourself
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead and hide
But what if your haven caves in on you?
What if you crawled out of your cocoon?
Hide if you like but what will it do
Let life pass you by, just like a fool
Hide if you like, Hide if you like
Hide if you like
and watch your life pass you by
Hide if you like, Hide if you like
Hide if you like
and watch your life pass you by
