Analysis of Hidden



My heart weeps
For an unreachable love
Knowing day and night
He's all I'm thinking of

My heart aches
Wanting him to be mine
Wishing I could just tell him
Stop living in this lie

My smile is just a front
So he can't see what's real
I'm so afraid to lose him
I must hide the way I feel

I cry when I'm alone
Tears I wont let him see
Hiding a love that I hold dear
From a man who may never love me
