You wrestle with your conscience To free your better self But did you think for one moment You could be someone else? Between a rock and a hard place Is where you seem to be You've been caught in a trap Between the devil and the deep blue sea All those nights so lonely All the tears that you cry You can't hide From the hurt inside (the hurt inside) You're in a situation Pray this time it will pa** But it feels like you're walkin' Over miles and miles of broken gla** Painted into a corner Where the sun never shines Somebody's turned on the spotlight You forgot to learn your lines In the place you once called your heart There's a wound that's open wide You can't hide From the hurt inside (the hurt inside) When you're thinking 'bout the hard times Everyone's been through But it won't make no difference Seeing things the way you do In this blue condition You must search for the light Don't believe them when they tell you You can't hold back the night Between a rock and a hard place Is where you'll always be Caught in a trap Between the devil and the deep blue sea So many words unspoken So many times you never tried You can't hide From the hurt inside (the hurt inside) No, you can't hide From the hurt inside (the hurt inside) There's one thing you can't hide It's the hurt inside (the hurt inside)
