Deep inside your soul, there's a hole You don't want to see Every single day, what you say Makes no sense to me Even though I try I can't get my head around you Somewhere in the night, there's a light In front of me Heaven up above, with a shove Abandons me And even though I try I fall in the river of you You manage to bring me down too All your faking Shows you're aching Every single day, what you say Makes no sense to me Letting you inside isn't right 'Cause you'll mess with me I never really know What's really going inside you I can't get my head around you All your feeding Shows you're bleeding Deep inside your soul, there's a hole You don't want to see You're covering it up, like a cut With the likes of me You know I've really tried I can't do anymore about you The cut's getting deeper The hill's getting steeper I guess I'll never know What's really going on inside you I can't get my head around you
