Lyrics:

Maybe I'm wrong, but what is a man,
If he can't say what's in his soul, and do what he can,
To prevent a life from caving in for just one girl?
And if everyone would follow suit, imagine that world.
But I'm told to smile and shrug it off.

When on the inside, I'm dying,
On the inside, this is tearing me apart,
I don't want to wade through this without fighting,
Watch her give away her heart.

Maybe I'm way off base, but just hear me out,
Because you still have the time to learn what love's all about,
I've felt happiness and solitude, I take them in turn,
I've seen bridges built to stand the storm, then watched them all burn,
Don't want to see you make that same mistake.

When on the inside, I'm dying,
On the inside, this is tearing me apart,
I don't want to wade through this without fighting,
Watch her give away her heart.

And I know there's a voice that keeps playing in your mind,
And it's screaming, "It's no good mixing darkness with the light."
Open your eyes.

On the inside, I'm dying,
On the inside, this is tearing me apart,
I don't want to wade through this without fighting,
Watch her give away her heart.
On the inside, I'm dying,
On the inside, this is tearing me apart,
I don't want to wade through this without fighting,
I'm not gonna wait through your denying,
While you give away your heart.
