Lyrics

I never knew how hard it would be
Living without you
Oh!
Ooh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, yes
I just feel like I'm losing you
I have that feeling too
Me too
You know something?
It's all over, and I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Tears are falling from my eyes
And I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Felt hurt so many times
And kept it all inside myself
Thought this wouldn't be the same
But now I'm feeling something else
My friends tell me I'll get over you
And I still feel like such a fool
I thought this day would never come
And now it's here
I don't know where the tears keep coming from
It's all over and I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
(Whoo!)
Tears are falling from my eyes
And I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
No more stiff upper lip
My pride has took a beating
I only use to cry in private
Behind closed doors
Now it doesn't even matter
If I'm in public anymore
It's all over, and I can't
(And I can't, I can't)
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Tears are falling from my eyes
And I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
It's all over, and I can't
(I can't, I can't, girl, no)
Keep it inside, keep it inside
(Well)
Tears are falling from my eyes
And I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
(And I can't)
(Keep it, keep it)
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Mistake, maybe, breaking up, baby
Mistake, maybe, breaking up, baby
Baby, I'm a man of pride
But this time I can't keep the pain inside
Oh, I just can't deny the emptiness
That's so clear
So I guess I'll keep crying
Till I run fresh out of tears
No, no, I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Tears are falling
Ooh, my tears keep falling down, girl
Crying overtime 'cause I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
It's all over
I can't, I can't
Keep it inside, keep it inside
Let's sing it together
I can't, I won't
I can't, I won't
Keep it inside
Ah-ah-ah
It's all over
