People look at you and think

Everything is alright

Not realizing that if you blink

You’re going to lose your fight

They see the pretty outside

That you have dressed up

They don’t see the true side

That’s about to erupt

Living with the inside

It’s a hard job sometimes

But you have to keep a good inside

And break your selfish pride

People look at you and think

Everything is okay

But don’t know that you’re about to sink

And your inside is full of decay

Your inside is looking for a hand

To touch it and say

That it can withstand

Just kneel down and pray

Living with the inside

It’s a hard job to do

It needs someone in whom it can confide

Someone it can sit down with and tell the true

Living with the inside

It’s quite a job, I must say

There’s so much you hide

In your inside from day to day

Living with the inside and all you know

Is a job to try and keep

And a matter you don’t want to show

Living with the inside requires a cleaning so deep

Living with the inside
