[Verse 1]
Every song is a memory
Of the way that we used to be
And the words are coming back to me
Now this room's so empty
Just a space where we used to be
But I swear I heard you calling me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know when you're kissing her
You taste me on her lips
I'm smiling but I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
I put my favourite record on
'Cause I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
I'm dancing like there's nothing wrong
But I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
Crying on the inside
[Verse 2]
So we'll rewrite history
Trade pain for poetry
I think that time is playing tricks on me
[Pre-Chorus]
I know when you're kissing her
You taste me on her lips
I'm smiling but I'm breaking down
[Chorus]
I put my favourite record on
'Cause I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
I'm dancing like there's nothing wrong
But I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
Crying on the inside
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-oh-oh (Crying on the inside)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-oh-oh (Crying on the inside)
[Bridge]
You see me smiling, but I'm crying on the inside
Look at me dancing, but I'm dying on the inside
You see me smiling, but I'm crying on the inside
Look at me dancing, but I'm dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
[Chorus]
I put my favourite record on
'Cause I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
I'm dancing like there's nothing wrong
But I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
I put my favourite record on
'Cause I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)
I'm dancing like there's nothing wrong
But I'm crying on the inside (Crying on the inside)

It’s about putting on a brave face when running into personal challenges; something I think we can all relate to, especially in the last year or so. I personally love when songs reference other songs or records, which this does. I actually wrote the song some time ago with Carly Rae-Jepsen in mind,...
