I refuse to look back, 'cause things aren't the same
I refuse to look back, 'cause I'm not like them
You're an angel in white, I'm a demon in red
My confessions are sacred, my confessions are strange
Some only smile, to mask the pain
Others hide tears, in the rain
Don't get it twisted, I'm still with the business
My star is rising, but my fists are bleeding
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I hide my tears in the rain
I hide my tears in the rain
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I'm a nightmare walking, who's living the dream
I won't stop fighting, I won't stop believing
I pray to my angels, I pray to my demons
But no one came through, until I met you
The sound of your voice, the language you use
I don't know much, but I know my truth
My color is black, and sacred to you
Because of it, you see the stars and the moon
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I hide my tears in the rain
I hide my tears in the rain
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
♪
I'm a nightmare walking, who's living the dream
Taking crowns and dethroning kings
Moving mountains just to part the sea
There's no stopping what's destiny
I wear my heart on my sleeve, with it, you get what you see
And I'm a nightmare walking who's living the dream
She's an angel in white, I'm a demon in need
My confessions are empty, my confessions are clean
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
I hide my tears in the rain
I hide my tears in the rain
I hide my tears in the rain, to mask the pain
