Paroles: Kurt Nilsen. Tearing Me Up Inside.

I've been walking in circles
Watching you every day
I've been taken every care
Not to scare you away

I've made you my friend
You put your trust in me
I'm a shoulder to cry on
Whenever you're in need

I've been reading your ways
Looking for a sign
Is there any chance at all
That I can make you mine?

Well, I've come this far
But, there's a longer way to go
My chances look slim
But soon I will know

It's tearing me up inside
Holding back for you
Feeling are hard to hide
They're 'bout to slip right through

It's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know?

I've been trying lately
To show you in secret ways
I've reached out to touch you gently
Stricken by your grace

I just hope that you'll see
And help me break this pain
If I loose you by telling
It's all been in vain

It's tearing me up inside
Holding back for you
Feelings are hard to hide
They're about to slip right through

It's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know?

There was a time before
When I thought I was great
But now I'm here with you
I shiver and I shake

I've found the words of love
And it all comes questions now
I close my eyes, I let them go
I have to let you know

It's tearing me up inside
Holding back for you
Feeling are hard to hide
They're about to slip right through

Oh, it's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know?
That it's tearing me up inside

Oh, it's tearing me up inside
I don't know what to do
I know I'll lose this fight
How can I let you know?
