too many love affairs that didn't turn out right
too many battlegrounds and tears that end in fights
a mirror shattered by the pain that's in your heart
a close embrace that made us both feel more apart
oh hide your emotions
you better disguise your emotions in love
I spent a long time waiting for your apathy to change
I kept this heartache to myself, making me feel strange
I've been around a lot - I learned a lot
and when I get uptight
although I feel hot, I take a shot
and ride off in the night
oh hide your emotions
you better disguise you emotions in love
I've been up a while - down a while
up and down - it makes me smile
we burn it all - spurn it all
acting big but feeling small
make our mark upon the map
when you die you beat the rap
oh hide your emotions
you better disguise your emotions in love...
