Hide and Seek
[MALAYA]
You're afraid of your heart, so you’re breaking mine
Keeping track of the time, while you're wasting mine
Same excuses, "It's fine,"
Copy-paste and move on
Seems the kiss was just bliss
An experiment you’ll regret and forget when the year is spent
By the time you admit what you feel, I'll be gone
I'm closing my eyes and I'm counting to ten
Can't believe that I'm playing this game again
I'm too grown up and too unafraid
For hide-and-seek
I don't wanna be a secret that you keep
I’m trying to find you, but you’rе in too deep
I'd cross an ocean for you, but I won’t play hide-and-seek
I don't want to be a sеcret that you keep
But when I'm asleep
I dream of you finally deciding
You're ready to come out of hiding
The whole school is on fire, you watch it burn
Now you’re GPA's higher, what did you learn?
Seems like you're getting tired of caring at all
So I'm just tossed to the side
This identity crisis is hard to watch
When I think that it's over, another notch
And I learned you retreat just as fast as you fall
What happened to pride?
I'm closing my eyes and I'm counting to ten
Can't believe that I'm playing this game again
I'm too grown up and too unafraid
For hide-and-seek
I don't wanna be a secret that you keep
Fine, you can stay asleep
So ordinary and rule-abiding
I'm so done seeking
But please keep on hiding
I'll ignore how you look at me
I'll pretend that I don't see
It's easier if we let the tension subside
Who cares about reality?
Keep being who you wanna be
I'll forget what you told me
It's clear that you lied
And I tried so hard
To find you
But I won't play hide and seek
I don't wanna be a secret that you keep
