Place to Hide

[Intro: Tom Walker]
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
Lately you've been searching for a darker place to hide
That's alright
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don't let go

[Chorus: Tom Walker]
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
Lately you've been searching for a darker place to hide
That's alright
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don't let go

[Verse 1: G-14]
Things have been so crazy, I don't know where I should start
Yeah, I want you both to know that I love you with all my heart
But the way that things are goin', it's lookin' like you are goin'
Down a bad road and you know it
The pain - you try not to show it, but inside
You feel like you can never be happy
Believe me, I know the feelin'
It's somethin' that I've been dealin' with for a little while now
Tryin' to figure out why happiness is somethin' that I just never found
I know them drugs have got you in a grasp you can't escape
And I know that in that sense I really cannot relate
But I also know that you have got to find a way to change
Because I promise if you don't that death will be your only fate
Something I - hope that you can see
Is what you would be doin' to us if you were to leave
'Cause we're only fuckin' kids, livin' in a dream
But it feels more like a nightmare when we go to sleep

[Chorus: Tom Walker]
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
Lately you've been searching for a darker place to hide
That's alright
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don't let go

[Verse 2: G-14]
I remember back to the days I used to laugh
Back before I understood why you'd always tend to act
Like you weren't really all there
It was kinda strange to a kid who wouldn't dare to believe what they would say
Trying to tell himself that his parents were okay
But I think that deep inside, he knew that that was a lie
So to push away the pain, he'd escape into his mind
Maybe that's the reason he's been strugglin' to find
Somethin' in life that's really real and isn't just another lie
Maybe that's the reason he's been dealin' with these demons
Who are tellin' him he's worthless and he's startin' to believe it
Trying to set a goal, but he can't ever achieve it
I don't really know, but the point I'm trying to make
Is that even back then, you would sell yourself away
To the same fuckin' demons who were rippin' out your hearts
And the same fuckin' demons tore our family apart

[Chorus: Tom Walker]
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
Lately you've been searching for a darker place to hide
That's alright
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don't let go

[Verse 3: G-14]
But I guess things are gettin' better, or are they gettin' worse?
I don't really know, all I know is how much it hurts
To watch you tear yourselves apart, day after day
Trying to make it seem alright, as if everything's okay
But I can see right through - the wall that you've made
And I can see the truth, I can see all the pain
I can see the regret and all the self disdain
I can see that you're dyin' and tryin' not to go insane, yeah
I wish that I could help, but I just don't see a way
There's not much that I can do, completely helpless at this age
Every time we talk, I just don't know what I should say
And when I sit alone, I have these fits of pain and rage
All my life I've tried not to be pessimistic
I keep my eyes open wide for opportunities to fix this
But I'm startin' to realize there's nothin' I can do, I'm wishin'
For a future where we find a solution to this tension but for now

[Chorus: Tom Walker]
Tell me what's been happening, what's been on your mind
Lately you've been searching for a darker place to hide
That's alright
But if you carry on abusing, you'll be robbed from us
I refuse to lose another friend to drugs
Just come home, don't let go
