[English]

I'm riding in the middle

Halfway into you

And halfway into something else

I dont't know what to do

You said you'd make it easy

You said you'd take the time

But you call it off

Before I change my mind

Cause you're not decidin'

You're only Hidin' From Love

You can't deny it

You're only Hidin' From Love

Well I've been makin' changes

But you've been changin' too

You were hoping love was somethin' else

I was hopin' it was you

You said you'd make it easy babe

You said you'd take the time

But you call it off

Before I change my mind

Cause you're not decidin'

You're only Hidin' From Love

You can't deny it

You're only Hidin' From Love

I know you're tryin'

But you're only Hidin' From Love

You say you're shy

But you're only Hidin' From Love
