The Badlees - Don't let me hide lyrics

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
