Lyrics:

1982 album Inside
Writer(s): Michael Barry Reid

She tries for the honesty, but the truth 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 instead
Something that just simply died.

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...
