Baby, I’m Dead Inside

Baby, I'm Dead Inside- by The Proods (Joe Grennon)

I’ll bet you thought that you could hurt me
Any time you’d blindly say, “I wish you would die”
Well I wasn’t born yesterday
These aren’t things that lover’s say
I’ve tried so hard to trust you
But you never look me in the eye
And you wear me down with all your lies
And you run around with other guys…

Dead inside, I may feel nothing now
But I’ll go on living somehow
And you’ll never know just how hard I’ve tried
Baby I’m dead inside

You’ve never asked to be forgiven
Even for the times you’d burn me with your cigarettes
I was hoping that you could be
Someone who is good to me
You’d better watch your ashes cuz you’ll end up burning me to death
Or sucking out my very breath
Or something else you might regret

Dead inside, I may feel nothing now
But I go on living somehow
And you’ll never know just how hard I cried
‘Til baby I’m dead inside.

Tell the kids I’ll be home soon
I’m in the emergency room.
If they say how to get that way, please don’t tell him I am doomed

Oh how I wish that I could hold you
Take you in my arms forever that would be ideal
But lately I’ve come to find
You are not the holding kind
I guess you’d rather hurt me
Doing harm, you know would never heal
Never even asking how I feel
Serving bits of arsenic with my meal

Dead inside, I may feel nothing now
But I go on living somehow
And you’ll never know just how hard I tried
Cuz baby I’m dead inside.
