Story behind the song
‘Inside My Tears’ is one of those experiences of humanity that most have incurred, where love was once passionate, trustworthy and seemingly inseparable; the way it was intended to be, especially in marriage, then it drifts to a faraway unreachable place unveiling a chilling realistic example of classic unrequited love.
Lyrics
Inside My Tears Written by Raphael Ashanti (BMI) 2010 You left me crying inside my tears You gave up on love after all these years Your touch used to make me smile and we would always make love for awhile I can see it’s not what it used to be Because we’re different people now And we got to say goodbye somehow I’m crying inside my tears I’m trying to hide my fears I’m dying after all these years But when I think about our love I want to know what happened to the trust I can’t keep playing this silly love game Saying you still love me when I can feel you’ve changed We’re like two ships passing in the night One moment we’re close and the next we’re out of sight So just let it end and I don’t want to be your friend Because we’re different people now And we got to say goodbye somehow I’m crying inside my tears I’m trying to hide my fears I’m dying after all these years But when I think about our love I want to know what happened to the trust I’m here you’re there we’re no where near Broken promise my worst nightmare Oh baby our love is gone And maybe we should move on From when we laughed in the sun Because all is said and done You left me crying inside my tears I try so hard to hide the way I feel So I guess I’ll go on living life this way I just want you to know That I will never be the same Repeat Chorus X (2) ©2010 Raphael I. Ashanti, BMI
