What if we were alone
Would you be the same
As yesterday in a crowded room?
Well, I'm not judging
I'm just wondering
What I'd see for when it's just me and you
And if you tell me it's not,
But I can see right through you
Cause you're saying things
I've never heard,
And this side of you,
I've never seen before
Chorus:
Where you been hiding?
Sister, who are you?
I know it's not easy being only you
Glad I know you now
'Cause now I know who you really are
Guess all along, I was played
How'd you keep this part of you far from me?
Thought I you knew you oh-so-completely
I liked what I saw
Until you broke down those walls and let me see you
I know this sounds bad,
But I hope I'm not wastin' my time on you
You're doing things
I've never seen,
And this side of you
Is killing me now
Chorus x 2:
Where you been hiding?
Sister, who are you?
I know it's not easy being only you
Glad I know you now
'Cause now I know who you really are
Guess all along, I was played
Where you been hiding?
Cause I know it's not easy doing what you do
Glad I know you now
'Cause now I know who you really are
Guess all along, I was played
Guess all along, I was played
Guess all along, I was played
