She tries for the honesty but the truth just gets in the way

'Cause I know inside what she can't bring herself to say

There's something dying deep in her heart

I feel it when I touch her hand

So I tell her a lie when I tell her I understand

But inside I die a little each day

Inside I feel her slipping away

Inside if she knew that I hurt this way

Inside she'd find a reason to stay

And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside

She turns to look at me trying to speak her mind

A thousand reasons in search of a single rhyme

And suddenly it occurs to me she's trying to say goodbye

So I give her a smile and tell her that I'll be alright

Ooooh

But inside I die a little each day

Inside I feel her slipping away

Inside if she knew that I hurt this way

Inside she'd find a reason to stay

And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside

Sometimes love will slip away it's hard to say just why

Is it something that's said or is it in-stead

Something that just simply died key change

But inside I die a little each day

Inside I feel her slipping away

Inside if she knew that I hurt this way

Inside she'd find a reason to stay

And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside

Inside

Inside if she knew that I hurt this way

Inside she'd find a reason to stay

And so I must keep this broken heart down deep inside

Oooooh, inside, inside...
