I Keep It Hid (feat. Aaron Neville)

Deep down inside

I know I still love him

But he'll never know

Cause I'll never tell

I'll confide that I'm thinking of him

And wishing him well

I can't walk up to him and say to him

Baby, what you been doing

I still love you like I did

You know, nothing's really changed here

But being the way I am

I keep it hid

Lately I've seen

That look in his eyes

That just breaks my heart

He needs me so

To lean on at this moment

Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say

Baby, what you been doing

I still love you like I did

You know, nothing's really changed here

But being the way I am

I keep it hid

Maybe someday I'll throw off my foolish pride

This ain't so good

Watching him die this way

Cause he's the same guy inside

Oh why can't I walk up to that old love of mine and say

Baby, what you been doing

I still love you like I did

You know, nothing's really changed here

But being the way I am

I keep it hid
