Hide Your Tears

I don't spend too many days
 Thinking about my reckless ways
 Broken hearts, rhymes of death
 Trouble I've brought, pain I've left
 All the changes I try to make
 Like drowning bubbles in a giant wake
 Coughed from the sea onto dry land
 Brought to life somehow again
 Hide your tears out in plain sight
 Hide your tears to catch the light
 Show your tears to all your friends
 Then go and hide your tears again
 Heard her cries through bedroom doors
 Crashing dreams off distant shores
 Said everything I shouldn't say
 Would different matter anyway
 The stories I could never tell
 Of lives and wives and city bells
 They're all wrapped in my arms so dear
 Though nothing I have can hold them here
 Hide your tears out in plain sight
 Hide your tears to catch the light
 Show your tears to all your friends
 Then go and hide your tears again
 I still fall for it every time
 Take the cure on my own dime
 Get up, get knocked down again
 I ask for five and you give me ten
 I broke into the house of love
 A dimming light my shadow held
 'Til shadows held no light to see
 With all of it surrounding me
 Hide your tears out in plain sight
 Hide your tears to catch the light
 Show your tears to all your friends
 Then go and hide your tears again
 I don't spend too many days
 Thinking about the reckless ways
 A man tries to outrun his death
 Or a broken heart runs out of breath
