Lyrics
Hey, why are you hiding me away
like an old photograph, stuck between the pages of a book
taken out randomly, when there's no one there
so you can take a look
Hey, why are you hiding me away
like a golden coin, in a satin cloth - hidden for all time
taken out gingerly, when there's no one there
so you can watch me shine
Why when my eyes are open
am I not allowed to see
Why when my heart is broken
am I not allowed to be
Hey, why are you hiding me away
keeping me selfishly, beyond the trees where no one ever sees
taken out randomly, when there's no one there
so I can meet your needs
Hey, why are you hiding me away
like an old memory, and no one sees the color of my smile
taken out gingerly, when there's no one there
for you to cherish for awhile
Why, when my eyes are open
am I not allowed to see
Why, when my spirit's broken
am I not allowed to be
Why, when my wings are open
am I not allowed to fly
Why, when my heart is broken
am I not allowed to cry
