Outside from Please by Emily Carroll

My teary eyes wide as they see in disbelief
Distraction thats all around me
Hearts that grow cold with every pressing day
And I wonder if I can go on

This is the end of the beginning again
A trial of will and might
Inward looking forward I'll sleep better when I'm older
But now its time to fight.

Being strong on the outside is hard when you ache
Is hard when you ache.
Being strong on the outside is hard when you ache
Is hard when you ache.

These visions they come round and round again
Of the distraction that all around me
The circled paths perfect in each and every way
And I wonder if this will stay.

This head it's held high theres no more room for hurt
Theres peace that flows all around me
The confusion thats been is long gone in the end
And I now know that I can go on

Being strong on the outside is hard when you ache
Is hard when you ache.
Being strong on the outside is hard when you ache
Is hard when you ache.

Things are harder than they seem
Oh don't come close to what it means
Letting this fleeting moment get the best of me.

Being strong on the outside is hard when you ache
Is hard when you ache.
Being strong on the outside is hard when you ache
Is hard when you ache.

My weary eyes tired as they hope desperately for peace.
