Library House on tmpasコミュのInside : RONNIE MILSAP

１９８２年盲目のカントリー歌手であるロニー・ミルサップが歌いヒットしたラブソング。こんなことを言うと怒られますが、こんな曲を紹介するのもこのコミュぐらいではないでしょうか。

♪
She tries for the honesty
But the truth gets in the way
'Cause I know inside
What she can't bring herself to say

There's something dyin' deep in her heart
I feel it when I touch her hand
So I tell her a lie
When I tell her I understand

But inside I die a little each day
Inside I feel her slippin' away
Inside if she knew I hurt this way
Inside she'd find a reason to stay
And so I must keep the broken heart down deep....inside

She turns to look at me
Trying to speak her mind
A thousand reasons
In search of a single rhyme

Suddenly it occurs to me
She's trying to say goodbye
So I give her a smile
And tell her that I'll be alright

But inside I die a little each day
Inside I feel her slippin' away
Inside if she knew I hurt this way
Inside she'd find a reason to stay
And so I must keep the broken heart down deep....inside

Sometimes love will slip away
It's hard to say just why
Is it something that's said
Or is it instead
Something that just simply dies
