You Can Hide Your Love Forever

he has a picture of her underneath her poster

so he knows that she, she is there

even though she is not

and the tapes were a way to her heart

she's something he can hold on to

something good and hopeful

"i'll never get to kiss her fingers

i'll never get to hold her coat

i'll never get to turn the light off

or sleep with her in Eden"

and she makes up friends in literature

she lived in France and Scotland

and she paints herself a picture

of what he'd look like now

her cigarettes

her cold, cold hands and her short dark hair

and she still loves you, don't you know?

now, you never did know

she thinks that it would be better

to see him through his letters

the music that he makes her

she knows it's all about her

and you

you can hide your love forever

you can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever

you can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever

you can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever

i think that it is better

to say "oh, how i loved her"

something good and strong

you can hold on forever

and one more time in the night

i could remember your face

one more time in the night

i could remember your face

and you

you can hide, you can hide your love forever,

you can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever,

you can hide, you can hide, you can hide your love forever
