[Verse 1]
Your life is like a crack in the mirror
Seven years of bad luck' it ain't getting better now
And after all that's said and done
Reflection in the window is the same old face
Background, small town, everywhere you look around
Tell me what you're running from
[Chorus 1]
Flip a coin
Let it land in your hand
Heads you're gonna stay
But it's tails, so you can
[Chorus 2]
Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend
It'll be alright
Said it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
Because it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Verse 2]
Nothing faster than the speed that you're leaving
A hundred miles an hour
And there ain't no slowing down
But you can outrun yourself
Yeah, you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck but now
You're skipping like a broken record going 'round
And you're the last to ask for help
[Chorus 1]
Flip a coin
Let it land in your hand
Heads you're gonna stay
But it's tails, so you can
[Chorus 2]
Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend
It'll be alright
Said it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
Because it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Bridge]
It's never really been a question of how far
And at the end of every destination
There you are
[Chorus 2]
You can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
Oh, you can pretend it'll be alright
No matter how you say it
When you tell that it's a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
[Outro]
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
I still love you on the inside
Your life is like a crack in the mirror
Seven years of bad luck' it ain't getting better now
And after all that's said and done
Reflection in the window is the same old face
Background, small town, everywhere you look around
Tell me what you're running from
[Chorus 1]
Flip a coin
Let it land in your hand
Heads you're gonna stay
But it's tails, so you can
[Chorus 2]
Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend
It'll be alright
Said it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
Because it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Verse 2]
Nothing faster than the speed that you're leaving
A hundred miles an hour
And there ain't no slowing down
But you can outrun yourself
Yeah, you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck but now
You're skipping like a broken record going 'round
And you're the last to ask for help
[Chorus 1]
Flip a coin
Let it land in your hand
Heads you're gonna stay
But it's tails, so you can
[Chorus 2]
Move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
You can pretend
It'll be alright
Said it to yourself, but you know it's just a lie
Because it's still just you on the inside
Still you on the inside
[Bridge]
It's never really been a question of how far
And at the end of every destination
There you are
[Chorus 2]
You can move to another town
Hide where you're sure you won't be found
But it's still just you on the inside
Oh, you can pretend it'll be alright
No matter how you say it
When you tell that it's a lie
'Cause it's still just you on the inside
[Outro]
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
Still you on the inside
(You can go and change your name, to me you'll always be the same)
Still you on the inside
(You can try to run and hide, you'll always be the same inside)
I still love you on the inside
