What's Inside

What I want is not out there

It doesn’t exist but in my dreams

And I spend too much time sleeping

At least, that’s the way it seems

The world outside is so cold and frightening

And I don’t want to go it alone

I just wish I had some shelter from the lightning

But I have nowhere to go

I’m just looking for some answers

And there’s only one that I could find

Truth or lies, it makes no difference,

Cos all I am is what’s inside

I read the letter that you wrote me

How you said that you were doing fine

I might have believed, if not for the picture

I swear that those are tears in your eyes

You told me not to worry

Then talked about the good ol’ days

The words were coated with regret

About the choices you had made

You said you’d like to come and see me

If only you could find the time

As it is, you’re far too busy

To deal with what’s inside
