The past is past 
And what's past is dead 
But when I look 
Into my children's eyes 
The past is still alive 
And all the stuff 
That hurts inside 
Oh, THAT HURTS DEEP INSIDE 

When things go wrong 
And lies go on and on 
Especially, little ones don't see 
What side is right 
It affects their life 
The scares are deep 
THAT HURTS DEEP INSIDE 
THAT HURTS DEEP INSIDE 

Want's gone is gone
And you can't go back 
But when I see 
All the damage done I can't
I can't 
Understand why, oh why? 
THAT HURTS DEEP INSIDE 
THAT HURTS DEEP INSIDE 

So, the air is never clean 
From the polluted lies 
That always come between 
From what was and is 
THAT HURTS DEEP INSIDE 

It's been said 
Life didn't have 
To be that way 
It's ok mistakes 
Are made everyday 
Until you look Into your childrens eyes 
THAT HURTS DEEP INIDE
