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 ooooh

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

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

But inside 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 inside
