Inside

Words and Music by ADDA

I would have let you in, you know I wanted to
But I watched you walk on by
I thought I felt something that wasn't there
I want to hang my head and cry
I was so sure, I thought I knew, the one for me had to be you

I thought you felt it too, how could I be so wrong?
What was I reading in your eyes?
It was a look that I misunderstood
But why am I not surprised?
I should have known, my hopes too high, but can I ask you why?

Talk to me now so softly, tell me what's on your mind
I wanted to be your friend, I'd hoped that you'd come inside
Want you to see the real me, it's a place few have been
I'm a fool on the outside, inside I'd be your friend

There was a joy in being close to you, just in standing by your side
And every day an opportunity, but now my pain I just can't hide
I want back things I never had, something so right has gone so bad

I'd always hoped that you would be the one every time I looked at you
I lost my nerve when you walked in the room and I stood there like a fool
I wish just once I'd let you know the way I've felt since long ago

And on the night you finally went away, my emotions they ran high
I couldn't place the way I felt inside, I never got a chance to try
So now I'll hope you change your mind, and then one day you'll come inside
