[Intro]
Inside
Inside (Ooh)
Inside (Oh)
Inside (Mmm)

[Verse 1]
Last night when I saw you
With somebody new
You asked how I've been
And I, I told you I was fine
And as you held each other close
I smiled and said, "It's good to see you"
And you didn't know

[Chorus]
Inside (Inside)
I'm cryin', baby
Inside (Inside)
I'm dyin', baby
I don't wanna let you see
Baby, what you've done to me
So I keep it all inside (Inside)
Inside (Inside)

[Verse 2]
Sometimes when you call me
I don't know what to say
You say I've been on your mind
And we'll talk again sometime, oh
You say you're glad we can be friends
I say I'm over all the heartache
But it's all pretend

[Chorus]
Inside (Inside)
I'm cryin', baby
Inside (Inside)
I'm dyin', baby
I don't wanna let you see
Baby, what you've done to me, oh
So I keep it all inside, oh

[Bridge]
Outside, I'm smilin', baby
Outside, these tears just can't be found
But I'm just breaking down
Inside

[Chorus]
Ooh, don't you know that I am dyin', baby (Dyin', baby)
I don't wanna let you see
Baby, what you've done to me
So I'll keep it all inside (Inside)
Yeah, I'm cryin', baby, yeah
Inside (Inside)
I'm dyin', baby, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna let you see
Baby, what you've done to me
So I'll keep it all inside
I'll just keep it all, all inside

[Outro]
