Inside
Berenice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm alone inside
'cause my mama's died

I'm alone inside
'cause my mama's died
I'm alone inside
'cause my mom is dead
I'm alone inside

You were the sunlight
Shining on my way
Life was only words
But you didn't hear them

I was in the dark
Avoiding the sun
But I won't give up
Just 'cause you're gone

I'm alone inside
'cause my mom is dead
I'm alone inside

You were the sunlight
Shining on my way
Life was only words
But you didn't hear them

I was in the dark
Avoiding the sun
But I won't give up
Just 'cause you're gone

I'm alone inside
I'm alone inside
'cause my mom is dead




I'm alone inside
'cause my mama's died
