Don't Let Me Hide

The Badless

Compositor: Bret Alexander

The big man aint so big no more
Hes curled up on the basement floor
His worldly goods around his feet
Hes lost his mind trying to keep
The more you gain, the more you pray
Nobody comes to take it all away

But youre up there and Im down here
With just the stairs between our fears
And walls made of foolish pride
Dont let me hide

Once I walked a troubled road
Crusading for a ransom owed
But any source of real joy contains
An initiation of pain
The more you build, the more you stay
Behind to tend what you have made

But youre up there and Im down here
With just the stairs between our tears
And walls we cant see behind
Dont let me hide

The more you live, the more youre sure
Some things are worth losing for

But youre up there and Im down here
With just the stairs between our fears
And walls we can live inside
Dont let me hide
