Inside
Glenn Hughes · Building The Machine [2001]
I paint the Mona Lisa, I'm gonna break away
I gotta keep my life a simple thing
I feel inside
I just wanna live today
I feel inside
I just wanna live this way
Why did I have to walk away when I was seventeen?
And now it all comes back to me 'cos I know where I've been
I gotta keep my life a simple thing
I feel inside
I just wanna live today
I feel inside
I just wanna live this way
I feel inside
You gotta give before you receive
And now you gotta believe
The way I feel inside
The way I feel inside
I feel inside
I just wanna live today
I feel inside
I just gotta live today
I feel inside
You gotta give before you receive
And now you gotta believe
The way I feel inside
The way I feel inside
The way I feel inside
Oh yeah, oh yeah
The way I feel inside
Oh yeah
The way I feel inside
Now you gotta believe
