On The Inside

Verse1:

I've spent too long thinking about that night

I've spent my days trying to figure it out right

Those words you said to me are still living in my head

I'm just trying to live, but I feel pretty dead

 

Chorus1:

On the inside my heart was failing my lungs couldn't breath

On the inside my dreams were falling, faster than when you leave

On the inside I could feel a storm coming fast around the bend

On the inside there's broken pieces that I just can't mend

 

Verse2:

But there's a part of me that I can't reach anymore

You took it with you when you left me a mess on the floor

I just don't want to have to pretend anymore

That we are just friends when we both feel more

 

Bridge:

My heart is falling from the sky

My fears are becoming realer than the night

I can hear me screaming, I'm wanting to be free

But what I want, isn't what I need

I wrote this one day after school. I put all my anger into the words on a page. It's hard to imagine something so beautiful, coming from an experience that was so horrible.
