Verse 1:

I've hidden it so well.
And no one can even tell.
The wounds of which I carry.
Are so Deep, so deep
At night, I really can't sleep, can't sleep.
I feel trapped inside a prison.
Wish someone would listen.
Because…

(Chorus)

On The Inside.
I'm tortured.
And on the Outside…
I act as if everything is okay.
But I don't know if I'll make it thru today.
I need help, in some type of way.
And for just someone to say.
That they care.
Cus this is what I'm like…
On The Inside.

(End of 1st Chorus)

Verse 2:

Forget about pride.
Thats not what this is about.
Forget about glory.
Cus you don't understand my story.
I just wish you would see, what my life has come to be.
Because…

(Chorus)

On The Inside.
I'm tortured.
And on the Outside…
I act as if everything is okay.
But I don't know if I'll make it thru today.
I need help, in some type of way.
And for just someone to say.
That they care.
Cus this is what I'm like…
On The Inside.

(End of Last Chorus)

Last Verse:

I've been bullied...
All my life.
Been stabbed in the back.
More then twice.
People play pretend, people play nice.
Till they show their true colors.
And they just wanna entice me to be…
Like the others.
No, you ain't my sisters.
No, you ain't my brothers.
No, I ain't your lover.
Truth, is the only thing we need to discover.
And thats what I'm like, And thats what I'm like.

On The Inside….
