I hide behind your happiness
As if it were my own
I hide behind who you are
And leave myself unknown
I hide behind your sparkling eyes
Afraid my own are dim
I've never seen my smile
'Cause I hide behind your grin
I hide behind your sadness
So I never will feel pain
I hide behind your biggest fears
So I never am afraid
I tell myself to take a step
From behind your shadow dark
I tell myself, but I never do
I don't know where to start
I cannot be myself
If I don't know who I am
I lack the courage and confidence
To tell myself I can
So I hide behind your happiness
As if it were my own
I hide behind your identity
And leave myself unknown
