My Hiding Place

Always hoped that I’d get by
And face whatever came;
Pay the price for what I’ve done
And always take the blame.

All the things life’s done for me
Done turned my head around.
Fin’lly took myself away
To where I won’t be found –

My hiding place,
Never more to show my face.
Guess I’m just a hopeless case.
No more running in this race,
Spend my days safe here in
My hiding place.

Forgive me if you miss me
But I’m not coming back.
Had enough of grief and rage,
Don’t want to paint it black.

My hiding place,
Never more to show my face.
Can’t keep living at your pace.
Wipe away the slightest trace,
Spend my days safe here in
My hiding place.
