(WHAT WE HOLD WITHIN)
(1st Verse)
How much can a person face
before they lose their emotion
How much can a person take
before their life turns to commotion
How much can others expect
when they've never been in your place
How can they presume to suspect
what's hidden behind our mind's gate
(CHORUS)
Some may sympathize
others may try to empathize
But they can never really know
what we carry all alone
Some things you don't share
with those who truly care
We all have our share of pain
that are ours alone to bear
(2nd Verse)
No-one can ever know
until it's in their face
They could never even imagine
'till they've been in our place
No-one can understand
what we hold within
There's no way to understand
what we hold within
(CHORUS)
Some may sympathize
others may try to empathize
But they can never really know
what we carry all alone
Some things you don't share
with those who truly care
We all have our share of pain
that are ours alone to bear
(3rd Verse)
Down inside our soul
we all have a deep hole
That holds all our darkness
things we keep to ourselves
Even try to hide from ourselves
always from everyone else
(BRIDGE)
How can we expect them to know
why we've let our emotion go
(CHORUS)
Some may sympathize
others may try to empathize
But they can never really know
what we carry all alone
Some things you don't share
with those who truly care
We all have our share of pain
that are ours alone to bear
(Repeat 2nd Verse)
No-one can ever know
until it's in their face
They can never even imagine
'till they've been in our place
No-one can understand
what we hold within
There's no way to understand
what we hold within
Those things
all those things we hold within
