Don't Let Me Hide Lyrics - Badlees

The big man ain't so big no more 

He's curled up on the basement floor 

His worldly goods around his feet 

He's lost his mind trying to keep 

The more you gain, the more you pray 

Nobody comes to take it all away 

But you're up there and I'm down here 

With just the stairs between our fears 

And walls made of foolish pride 

Don't 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 you're up there and I'm down here 

With just the stairs between our tears 

And walls we can't see behind 

Don't let me hide 

The more you live, the more you're sure 

Some things are worth losing for 

But you're up there and I'm down here 

With just the stairs between our fears 

And walls we can live inside 

Don't let me hide
