She tries for the honesty but the truth gets in the wayCause 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
