Within

The eyes can't hide what's running through the mind When love begins to die It yields the tears we cry Behind a smile could be a struggling lie And though we try so hard We just can't fake it But why do we allow somebody to step in Though they can't read between the lines when we are hurting?

I don't want to cry aloud I want him to be the one to know that I'm in pain And he's the one to blame (am I the one to blame?) I want him to figure out it's all about discerning what is real What I truly feel To see the meaning, knowing what's within When he starts to see these tears inside of me Then I'll believe that he perceives just what's within What's within What's within What's within I don't want to cry aloud I want him to be the one to know that I'm in pain (sure in pain) And he's the one to blame (and I'm the one to blame) I want him to figure out (no, no, no) It's all about discerning what is real What I truly feel To see the meaning, and knowing what's within What's within
