Lyrics

Dead Inside

[Verse 1]

To find this love of mine

I’d walk through wind and fire

Forever and always

Hollow hands reach out

For you to touch me now

Forever and always

[Chorus]

Dead inside

My heart and soul flatline

Put your mouth on mine

And bring me back to life!

Dead inside

No other satisfies

My blood runs dry!

Take my life!

Save me from this death inside!

[Verse 2]

I can’t escape this love

I want it the way it was

Forever and always

Don’t you leave me here!

Alone in all this fear

Forever and always

[Chorus]

Dead inside

My heart and soul flatline

Put your mouth on mine

And bring me back to life!

Dead inside

No other satisfies

My blood runs dry!

Take my life!

Save me from this death inside

[Bridge]

I can’t escape this love

I want it the way it was

You remind me of a time

When I felt alive

[Chorus]

Dead inside

My heart and soul flatline

Put your mouth on mine

And bring me back to life!

Dead inside

No other satisfies

My blood runs dry!

Take my life!

Save me from this death inside

Blood runs dry!

Take my life!

Save me from this death inside
