I Keep Mine Hidden Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hate, love and war
Force emotions to the fore
But not for me of course, of course
I keep mine hidden

[Chorus]
I keep mine hidden
But it's so easy for you
Because you let yours flail
Into public view

Ohh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Yellow and green, a stumbling block
I'm a twenty-digit combination to unlock
With a past where to be touched
Meant to be mental


[Chorus]
I keep mine hidden
The lies are so easy for you
Because you let yours slide
Into public view

[Outro]
(Use your loaf!)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
