The hurt does not go away
it keeps me up at night
struggling still,have I done
all I've done for right.

You live inside my memory
torment my weary soul,
the tears I've shed
how blind you are,
you will never know.

The time goes by
a precious gift
that never will return,
I try to lay what has died to rest
but I just cant let go.

My soul lay torn in pieces
what will it take to mend,
I long to see the sun
and feel joy once again.

On the outside I am smiling
and walk with head held high
On the inside Im still crying
for what's been left behind

A dream of peace and joy and love
warm arms to hold me tight
Instead I lie in bed at night
and cry in to the night

The pain I feel is all that's left
of life as me and you
You never laid a hand on me
but you left me black and blue

On the outside I am smiling
and walk with head held high
On the inside Im still crying
for what's been left behind

A dream of peace and joy and love
warm arms to hold me tight
Instead I lie in bed at night
and cry in to the night

The pain I feel is all that's left
of life as me and you
You never laid a hand on me
but you left me black and blue
