Hideaway Lyrics by Erasure

The Circus

1987

[Verse 1]
One day the boy decided
To let them know the way he felt inside
He could not stand to hide it
His mother she broke down and cried

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my father, why don't you talk to me now?
Oh my mother, do you still cry yourself to sleep?
Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid (Be afraid)
You don't have to hide away

[Verse 2]
The boy, he was rejected
By the people that he cared for
It's not what they expected
But he could not keep it secret anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Far from home now
Waiting by the telephone
There's a new world
You can make it on your own
Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid (Be afraid)
You don't have to hide away, no
Don't be afraid
Love will mend your broken wing
Time will slip away
Learn to be brave

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh my father, why don't you talk to me now?
My mother, do you still cry yourself to sleep?
Are you still proud of your little boy?

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid (Be afraid)
You don't have to hide away, no
Don't be afraid
Love will mend your broken wing
Time will slip away
Learn to be brave
