Lyrics Richard Marx

Richard Marx

On The Inside

Your life is like a crack in the mirror

Seven years of bad luck it ain't getting better now

After all is said and done

Reflection in the window is the same old face

Background small town everywhere you look around

Tell me what you're running from

Flip a coin and let it land in your hand

Heads you gonna stay but its tails so you can

Move to another town

Hide where you're sure you wont be found

But it's still just you on the inside

You can pretend it'll be alright

Sell it to yourself but you know it's just a lie

Cause it's still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside

Nothing faster than the speed of your leaving

Hundred miles an hour and there ain't no slowing down

But you cant outrun yourself

Yeah you can say you fit in like a joker in the deck but now

You're skipping like a broken record going round

And you're the last to ask for help

Flip a coin and let it land in your hand

Heads you gonna stay but its tails so you can

Move to another town

Hide where you're sure you wont be found

But it's still just you on the inside

You can't pretend it'll be alright

Sell it to yourself but you know it's just a lie

Cause it's still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside

It's never really been a question of how far

And at the end of every destination there you are

You can't move to another town

Hide where you're sure you won't be found

But it's still just you on the inside

Oh, you can pretend it will be alright

No matter how you sell it

When you tell it it's a lie

Cause it's still just you on the inside

Still you on the inside

You can go and change and to me you'll always be the same

Still you on the inside

You can try and run and know you'll always be the same inside

I still love you on the inside.
