Even if it’s all over, don’t ever say it was all in vain.
And don’t tell me everything we believe in has been washed away.
Because something still remains.
I known it still remains, because I’m still the same.
And there ain’t nothing gonna change my mind.
Because I’ve spent my whole life just trying to find.
Something I know I need but can’t define.
Everything I ever wanted is here baby.
It’s still alive inside of me.
It never died inside of me.

Inside of Me
