You wrestle with your conscience   To free your better self   But did you think for one moment   You could be someone else      Between a rock and a hard place   Is where you seem to be   You've been caught in a trap   Between the devil and the deep blue sea      All those nights so lonely   All the tears that you cry   You can't hide from the hurt inside   The hurt inside      You're in a situation   Pray this time it will pass   But it feels like you're walkin'   Over miles and miles of broken glass      Painted into a corner   Where the sun never shines   Somebody's turned on the spotlight   You forgot to learn your lines      In the place you once called your heart   There's a wound that's open wide   You can't hide from the hurt inside   The hurt inside      When you're thinking 'bout the hard times   Everyone's been through   But it won't make no difference   Seeing things the way you do      In this blue condition   You must search for the light   Don't believe them when they tell you   You can't hold back the night      Between a rock and a hard place   Is where you'll always be   Caught in a trap   Between the devil and the deep blue sea      So many words unspoken   So many times you never tried   You can't hide from the hurt inside   The hurt inside      No, you can't hide from the hurt inside   The hurt inside   There's one thing you can't hide   It's the hurt inside   The hurt inside
