The rumour going 'round

Is that I haven't shed a tear

But don't they know you can't believe

Everything you hear

'Cause ever since you left

I've been a master of disguise

I may be smiling on the outside

But don't look into my eyes, 'cause...



Chorus:



The inside story

Is as clear as black and white

I still dream about you

When I turn out the lights

The news out on the street

Says you didn't break my heart

But the inside story

Is tearing me apart



I thought maybe there was something wrong

That we'd work out in time

And looking back I can see

I didn't read between the lines

And now my pride helps me hide the pain

So it's not written on my face

When we pass I'll pretend your memory

Was easy to erase, but...



(Repeat Chorus)



Oh, the inside story

Is tearing me apart
