Analysis of Try to see inside
Star Alvarado 2004 (Indiana)
The more you lie the more I cry
wondering why you like to lie.
Do you lie to see me die inside?
What you see outside is not inside.
What's bottled up inside is for no ones eyes.
My soul can barely hide what is behind.
Truth is dead but lying is sin
What to choose is harder to them.
If one is dead and one is sin
How can you choose between them.
