Hiding Inside lyrics Hiding your feelings yourself inside because you're afraid to express them and lose your pride but why try to be someone you're just not why keep hiding, letting the real you rot yes, you're afraid to get caught off guard because you don't know how they'll think (is he ";soft"; or ";hard";) but does it really matter, does it really bother you? to try to be someone else, a fool leading yourself on to (a life that's not for you) can't you act and be yourself not another character in a hardcore hangbook well, we don't need anymore great american heroes but real people being themselves, not weirdos
