Inside
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a way I'm glad it's over even though it's gonna hurt me once you're gone
But I can learn to live without you give me time and I can make it on my own
Loving you to me came easy and losing you will change my life no doubt
In a way I'm glad it's over but another way it turns me inside out
In a way I guess it's better although there's nothing good at goodbye
But I know I couldn't hold you

Now you found your wings and you need room to fly
It's for sure I'm gonna miss you but I guess that's what goodbye is all about
In a way I'm glad it's over but another way it turns me inside out
On the one hand I know I'll be better off once you're gone
But I find a lot of heartaches on the other
And I can't say that I look forward to those nights I'll be alone
And I wonder if there'll ever be another

Loving you to me came easy and losing you will change my life no doubt




In a way I'm glad it's over but another way it turns me inside out
In a way I'm glad it's over but another way it turns me inside out
