you've got no reasons for the things you said  but you can't keep your feelings to yourself  and i can't find an answer to this emptiness  no i can't find an answer  and i wish that i was dead  i never dreamt i'd hear your echo pounding in my head  and though the tears have dried  i'm ripped inside    i'll say i'm feeling fine  but what's the use  when nothing could be further from the truth  oh where will i find comfort  strength to live again  if there's a god above then show me how the story ends  if there's a god above then how could he desert a friend  because i feel so tired  and ripped inside    and though the tears have dried  i'm ripped inside    you'll ache for me when your hands are tied  you'll wish you lived in another time  and if you're thinking the pain subsides  there's no place to hide  when you're ripped inside    there is no meaning in the things you did  and you might still go round denying it  if you could live that hour again would you resist?  or was i just another victim innocently picked?  was i carefully selected or the next one on your list?  to be cut down to size  and ripped inside    i've got nowhere to hide  i'm ripped inside    i've got nowhere to hide  i'm ripped inside    and though the tears have dried  i'm ripped inside    i've got nowhere to hide
