Outside, Inside
On the outside, you see a smile.
On the inside, I see a frown
On the outside, you see joy
On the inside, I see pain
On the outside, I seem normal
On the inside, I am odd
On the outside, I am with others
On the inside, I am alone
Outside, inside, outside, inside
The outside tells one story,
The inside tells another
No one knows my inside story
Or takes the time to hear it.
People only hear my outside story
Even though it is not really me.
On the inside, I see a frown
On the outside, you see joy
On the inside, I see pain
On the outside, I seem normal
On the inside, I am odd
On the outside, I am with others
On the inside, I am alone
Outside, inside, outside, inside
The outside tells one story,
The inside tells another
No one knows my inside story
Or takes the time to hear it.
People only hear my outside story
Even though it is not really me.
