INSIDE

BY: DAISHA STAFFORD

 

VERSE:

i ASKED  God FOR an EAsy BREAK

to TAKE the PAIN aWAY

CAUSE my HEART is ACHing

my HEART is BREAKing

and  it SEEMS he's GOT the  BETter HALF

 

CHORUS:

but I GOTta SAY goodNIGHT

and TURN out ALL these LIGHTS

and ALL these BUTterFLIES 

InSIDE

and STOP these FEELings toNIGHT 

CAUSE they BURN my EYES

i  GOTta SAY goodBYE

and KEEP these FEELings inSIDE

InSIDE

 

VERSE:

we WERE like STARS SHIning aBOVE

i GUESS i forGOT the SUN

i FELT the GUN and THEN the KNIFE

you CUT me OUT of your LIFE

  like hisTOry WE became  passTIMES

 

(refer back to chorus)

BRIDGE:

neVER aGAIN

 will I MISS

 your SCENT when it MIXes with the RAIN

OUr ENDing

WAS your GAME

and i CAN’T beLIEVE i STLL feel the PAIN

 

so I GOTta SAY goodNIGHT

and TURN out ALL these LIGHTS

and ALL these BUTterFLIES 

InSIDE

and STOP these FEELings toNIGHT 

CAUSE they BURN my EYES

i  GOTta SAY goodBYE

and KEEP these FEELings inSIDE

InSIDE

 

So i GOTta SAY goodNIGHT

Cause your FEELings WON’t igNITE

but I will BE alRIGHT

In TIME

and I won’t NEED to CRY

CAUSE my EYES are DRY

I’m REAdy to SAY goodBYE

i’ve FOUND my STRENGTH inSIDE

inSIDE
