  • How can I make sure no one notices me
    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 to 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 knows what I'm thinking
    What I'm trying to hide
    Yeah, 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
    I 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 a 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 knows what I'm thinking
    What I'm trying to hide
    Yeah, 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

    ooh, ooh

    Yeah, I'm dying inside
    Who knows what I'm thinking
    What I'm trying to hide
    Yeah, I'm dying all night
    I'm breathing but I can't feel life
    I'm smiling but I'm dying inside Writer/s: GARY BARLOW

  • Jay Hellman from MichiganThis is a powerful song-sad, yet healing. I would love to have this song but understandably, it is one that’s difficult to put out there. Is there ever going to be a time when it will be released? I love and have all of your music. This would be a great addition. Thank you.
