If I was honest when they asked me, “Are you okay?” Would they be sorry for approaching Run away? Cuz the truth is “No, I'm dying” Every day. If I was honest when they asked me, What should I say? Should I tell them that I'm hollow? Empty inside Should I tell them that I can't sleep? All I do is cry Would the truth make them uneasy? Should I lie Is it too much for them to swallow? Should I try [Chorus] On the outside… I look fine On the inside… I'm dying On the outside… I pretend On the inside… when will it end? I can't take much more I wish it was as before Am I asking too much of you? To understand Am I expecting you to see it? To comprehend Do you think that I'm alarming? Overwhelming Should I have a better grip on things? An opinion If I was honest when they asked me, Tears would flow If I was honest when they asked me, They would know That my grief is because I loved them Why'd they go And I'll miss them for the remaining Until I go Chorus] On the outside… I look fine On the inside… I'm dying On the outside… I pretend On the inside… when will it end? I can't take much more I wish it was as before [Bridge] I'm laughing I'm crying Everything in between My mind racing With questions No answers to be seen Why's? and what ifs? Can't stop it It drives me insane It haunts me It torments It causes me pain Chorus] On the outside… I look fine On the inside… I'm dying On the outside… I pretend On the inside… when will it end? I can't take much more I wish it was as before [Fade] If…I…was…honest
