Inside

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 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 but inside I die a little each day... 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 if she knew I hurt this way...
