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 understandBut 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 insideShe 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 alrightBut 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 insideSometimes 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 diesInside, inside, 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 insideInside, inside
