I can see you're lonely, I can see you cry I know you hide away your tears, never askin' why I know you're lookin' for refuge, a solitary place You're lookin' for forgiveness, I see it on your face Woah-o-o-o-o... You're playin' hideaway You wanna hide away You're boardin' up the window, closin' up the store Don't wanna see nobody, you're lockin' up the door Turnin' off your neon light, nothing left to say The people that you left behind, you don't need 'em anyway Woah-o-o-o-o... You're playin' hideaway You wanna hide away Ain't got a lover, ain't got a friend You think about the days gone by, but you're never goin' back again A world without sorrow, you know it's never gonna be Life without heart ache, you know you're never gonna see Woah-o-o-o-o... You're playin' hideaway You wanna hide away
