Your past will always find you
No matter where you go
You can try to run away
But your heart will always know

Time may smooth the edges
And fill in any cracks
You can never move life forward
When you're always looking back

(Chorus)
It's not just my pride
I got something to hide
Lord knows I tried
I got something to hide
Prayed and then I cried
I got something to hide
Laughed and then I lied
I got something to hide


To live with shame and anguish
Diminishes your soul
It's a heavy weight to carry
The burden takes its toll

There's no light in this tunnel
You can't tell if it ends
The path to your redemption
Begins with your amends

(Chorus)
It's not just my pride
I got something to hide
Lord knows I tried
I got something to hide
Prayed and then I cried
I got something to hide
Laughed and then I lied
I got something to hide


The only way to lighten
This very heavy load
Is face the truths inside you
Or else you will implode

Confession's never easy
Forgiveness not assured
It's the only way to lessen
What you have endured

(Chorus)
It's not just my pride
I got something to hide
Lord knows I tried
I got something to hide
Prayed and then I cried
I got something to hide
Laughed and then I lied
I got something to hide
Oh yeah
It's not just my pride
I got something to hide
Lord knows I tried
I got something to hide
Prayed and then I cried
I got something to hide
Laughed and then I lied
I got something to hide
I got something to hide
I got something to hide
