Dying Inside Lyrics


How can I make sure no one notices me
Don't want a conversation with nobody
And it hurts too much to say how I feel
What you don't know, is all I know

How can I make sure that I fool everyone
Gonna wear a suit and tie
And put my bravest face on
And it's far to deep to show you this wound
No it won't heal no time soon
Nobody knows what I'm going through

I'm Dying Inside
Who knows what I'm thinking
What I'm trying to hide
Yeah, I'm dying all night
I'm breathing but I can't feel life
I'm smiling but I'm dying inside

How can I make sure
I'm invisible
I find just a simple phrase that may say it all
Cause it's far too soon and not the right time
What I've seen was for my eyes

And how can I make sure
No one worries for me
Cause I don't need a helping hand
And don't want sympathy
Don't know what I need but know what I don't
What you can't see it feels so broke
That you can't see is how I'll cope

'Cause I'm dying inside
Who knows what I'm thinking
What I'm trying to hide
Yeah, I'm dying all night
I'm breathing but I can't feel life
I'm smiling but I'm dying inside

Want everyone around to think that I'm alright
Hope they assume I've left the dark and found the light
Want them to think that I don't cry myself to sleep at night

ooh, ooh

Yeah, I'm dying inside
Who knows what I'm thinking
What I'm trying to hide
Yeah, I'm dying all night
I'm breathing but I can't feel life
I'm smiling but I'm dying inside

Dying Inside
  • This song's somber lyrics appear to reference the tragic events of 2012 when Barlow's fourth child, Poppy, was stillborn. Just a week later, Barlow performed with Take That at the London Olympics closing ceremony. He sings:

    "How can I make sure I fool everyone?
    Gotta wear a suit and tie and put my bravest face on
    And it's far too deep to show you this wound
    I'm dying inside."

    Barlow admitted to The Daily Telegraph: "That's such a depressing song, it was on and off the album. It comes with a government health warning. But most people have at some point got to pick themselves up – you've got to turn up for work and get on with it. I can be stood here, loaded with stuff, but I don't want to tell anyone, and by you all ignoring it, you are actually helping me right now."
