No More Hiding SZA Lyrics
No more hiding
I wanna feel sun on my skin
Even if it burns or blinds me
I wanna be purified within
No more hiding
I wanna be in love for real though
Don’t care what it costs me
I’ll trade anything to feel now
Searching for real, trying for real
Familying for real, lost in the real
Hurting for real, chasing a real
Anything real
Don’t gotta say it ’cause I already know, mm
Don’t gotta say it ’cause I already know
Everything I love, I gotta let go
Gotta break it if you want it to grow
Had to build everything twice over
Don’t tell me ’cause I know
Let go
Let go
No more hiding
I wanna be real me, ugly
No more fake me fighting
I wanna know what’s underneath, oh
Mask off, I get more oversized down talkin’ face off
Cut myself open to see what I’m made of
I guess I’m guilty of giving out fake love
I’m so fake, fuck
Crashing for real, trying for real
Earning for real, hurting for real
Passion for real, risky for real
Anything real
Don’t gotta say it ’cause I already know, mm
Don’t gotta say it ’cause I already know
Everything I love, I gotta let go (Let go)
Gotta break it if you want it to grow (Let go)
Had to bury everything twice over
Don’t ask me ’cause I know
[Outro]
Let go (Let go)
(You just gotta let go) Let go, oh
Let go (Let go)
Go and let go (Let go)
