The eyes can't hide
What's running through the mind
When love begins to die
It yields the tears we cry

Behind the smile
Could be a struggling lie
And though we try so hard
We just can't fake it

But why do we allow somebody to step in
Though they can't read between the lines when we are hurting?

I don't want to cry aloud
I want him to be the one to know
That I'm in pain
And he's the one to blame
I want him to figure out
It's all about discerning what is real
What I truly feel
To see the meaning knowing what's within

He holds my hand
But never understands
Never understands
Embracing me in coldness
He's too numb to feel

If I convey
The things I have to say
I think you'll only make a fool of myself

But why do we allow somebody to step in
Though they can't read between the lines when we are hurting?

I don't want to cry aloud
I want him to be the one to know
That I'm in pain
And he's the one to blame
Am I the one to blame?
I want him to figure out
It's all about discerning what is real
What I truly feel
To see the meaning knowing what's within

When he starts to see
These tears inside of me
Then I'll believe
That he perceives
Just what's within
What's within
What's within
What's within

I don't want to cry aloud
I want him to be the one to know
That I'm in pain
Sure in pain
And he's the one to blame
And I'm the one to blame
I want him to figure out
It's all about discerning what is real
What I truly feel
To see the meaning knowing what's within

What's within
