Inside Out Between Your Heart For Every Tear Deep Inside
Inside,
I am raging with anger.
Inside,
my heart begins to shout.
Outside,
I can take it no longer.
Outside,
I have figured it out.
Outside,
your smile is cynical.
Outside,
no one can see your heart break.
Inside,
you feel your earth shatter.
Inside,
you know you are nothing more than fake.
Inbetween space,
I give up.
Inbetween space,
I forget to live my life.
Outside of the box,
you,yourself, finally give up.
Outside of the box,
you know you have done something right.
Outside of the box,
you flash your pretty smile.
Outside of the box,
you silently begin to pray.
Inbetween space,
you fill me with anger.
Inbetween space,
I know it will not be okay.
For every tear,
you pretend it is okay.
For every tear,
you say it did not fall.
Around your heart,
your foundation wishes to crumble.
Around your heart,
you imagined China's great wall.
Around your heart,
I can't find a way in.
Around your heart,
I feel the abrrier is too thick.
For every tear,
you tell me another lie.
For every tear,
you are making yourself sick.
Underneath your smile,
you wish to meet your destiny.
Underneath your smile,
you think that no one can see.
Deep down inside,
I see all you wanted to hide.
Deep down inside,
I think you know you can't lie to me.
