Hiding from the Truth Lyrics

How was he to see himself

Shaping better things like he read

Filling every frailty with painted air instead

Everyone reminds him of those tall tall tales

Summarised by chasing down fame

He'd channelled to a false dawn and there he could not change

Oh

She's filling up the pages

Cos she hasn't been the same since

He was hiding from the truth

So she couldn't sit and take it

Once enough to tolerate

It's on the walls upon the two

So why does he backdown do as I do

He's not being funny

That is just the way he is

Convinced that he'll repair it

With his all his well worn tricks

He draws back to bite his lip

Hopes that's where his courage is

As he set out to harness

The pain to fight his fears

Oh

She's filling up the pages

Cos she hasn't been the same since

He was hiding from the truth

So she couldn't sit and take it

Once enough to tolerate

It's on the walls upon the two

So why does he backdown do as I do

Oh

She's filling up the pages

Cos she hasn't been the same since

He was hiding from the truth

And so she couldn't sit and take it

Once enough to tolerate

It's on the walls upon the two

Oh

She's filling up the pages

Cos she hasn't been the same since

He was hiding from the truth

So she couldn't sit and take it

Once enough to tolerate

It's on the walls upon the two

And why does he backdown

Why does he backdown

Why does he backdown do as I do
