On the Inside

I may smile for the camera
I might fool my friends with laughter
But underneath the lies
You will find the truth that hides
I try to hold it all together
Do I have to hold it in forever?
I’m not that strong
I can’t do this on my own

CHORUS
If you could understand
What’s really happening on the inside
You’d see the pain that I try to hide
If you were in my head
Then maybe you could see who I really am
I’m broken on the inside

You should know your story doesn’t end here
I know how you feel because I’ve been there
Doesn’t have to be your fight
Don’t you know He’s on your side
He knows all you’ve ever done
He loves you more than anyone
Whatever you’re going through
He’s reaching for you

CHORUS
My child I understand
What’s really happening on the inside
I see the pain that you try to hide
I know what’s in your heart
And I can see you for who you really are
I’ll fix what’s broken on the inside

Giving up the fight
Running to the light
You know He’s there
He’s right by your side
When you feel lost
Run to the cross
Look up and see

My child I understand
What’s really happening on the inside
I know what’s in your heart
And I can see you for who you really are
I’ll fix what’s broken on the inside
