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

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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 instead

Something that just simply dies

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Inside

Inside
