Lyrics

Appearances

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This isn't hide and seek

I left, you followed me

I need some time to think

And you know it

I'm feeling trapped inside

But too afraid to cry

I'm living my own lie

And you know it

Well I've been keeping up appearances,

But this smile's wearing thin

CHORUS

Let me out, let me out

I think I might drown

I'm suffocating silently in front of the crowd

Let me out, let me out

I can't make a sound

I hate to say it but I think it's over

I struggle to hold on

But I'm trying to be strong

Hiding more then I let on

And you know it

I'm searching for a dream

A reason to believe

But I'm sinking underneath

And you know it

Well I've been keeping up appearances

But this smile's wearing thin

CHORUS

Let me out, let me out

I think I might drown

Let me out, let me out, let me out,

Let me out, let me out, this smile's wearing thin

CHORUS
