LYRICS:
Well that was goodā¦I guess.
I can deal with that.
I can handle that.
Once the seal is broken, itās broken.
Once the bubble bursts, itās gone.
You get one.
You make the choice, you act, itās done.
And I found my hiding place.
I like the way he smiles at me.
Heās a decent guy.
Heās a handsome guy.
If the love is empty, itās empty.
If I feel no heat, Iāll stay cold.
Itās all right.
I canāt be where I want tonight.
Iāll stay in my hiding place.
But nothing about this felt real.
Nothing about this felt right.
As I crawl out of this bed in the glow of the moonlight,
I wonder, am I changed?
If the action was a lie, does it count?
Sheā¦is a million miles away from what is safe.
I canāt deal with that.
I canāt handle that.
I may not be honest.
I may never be honest.
But I have my hiding place.
