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. [Chorus] 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. Oh [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] 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. Oh, inside, inside
