Ronnie Milsap Inside lyrics

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

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 dies?

Inside, 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

Inside
Inside
