Dying Inside - Gary Barlow

How can I make sure no one notices me

I don’t want a conversation with nobody

And it hurts too much to say how I feel

What you don’t know is all I know

How can I make sure that I fool everyone?

Gonna wear a suit and tie and put my bravest face on

And it’s far too deep to show you this wound

No it won’t heal, no time soon

Nobody knows what I’m going through

I’m dying inside

Who know’s what I’m thinking, what I’m trying to hide?

Here I’m dying all night

I’m breathing, but I can’t feel life

I’m smiling, but I’m dying inside

How can I make sure I’m invisible?

Or find just a simple phrase that may say it all

Cause it’s far too soon and not the right time

What I’ve seen was for my eyes

And how can I make sure no one worries for me

'Cause I don’t need helping hand and don’t want sympathy

Don’t know what I need but know what I don’t

What you can’t see, it feels so broke

That you can’t see is how I’ll cope

'Cause I’m dying inside

Who know’s what I’m thinking, what I’m trying to hide?

Here I’m dying all night

I’m breathing, but I can’t feel life

I’m smiling, but I’m dying inside

Want everyone around to think that I’m alright

Hope they assume I’ve left the dark and found the light

Want them to think that I don’t cry myself to sleep at night

Here I’m dying inside

Who know’s what I’m thinking, what I’m trying to hide?

Here I’m dying all night

I’m breathing, but I can’t feel life

I’m smiling, but I’m dying inside
