I've held you in awe for so many years
 
 Only now do I know what I'm seeing
 
 I've analyzed every word that you've said
 
 To find a deeper meaning
 
  
  It went beyond curiosity
 
 It almost ecame an obsession
 
 To find a mere glance of love in your eyes
 
 A mere glance of love in your eyes
  
 
 You've got lines in your face from forced smiles
 
 The sadness is beginning to show in your eyes
 
 You can't hide it anymore, sad beauty
 
 Hide it anymore
 
 And you find it hard to live in your guise
 
 Time has not been very kind
 
 You can't hide it anymore
 
 Hide it anymore
  
 
 Do you still like being what you call free
 
 Its comfort must lie somewhat thin
 
 Hopeful lovers linger only so long
 
 While you hide what lies within
  
 
 Do you still like being a mystery
 
 It's lost much of its appeal
 
 From an idol above understanding
 
 To a loner who's tragically real
  
 
 (Chorus)
  
 
 It's been a rough life
 
 A very tough life (sad beauty)
 
 You can't hide it anymore
 
 Hide it anymore (sad beauty)
 
 Sad beauty
