Dead Inside

My mother called up & said my old dog died
I just listened while she bawled & cried
My girl just left me for another guy
I went about my business 'cause I'm dead inside

I'm dead inside, dead inside
A rusty old battery, I'm dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside
You can't start me up because I'm dead inside.

I walk around emotionless every day
People often ask me how I got this way
I remember a time when I could cry
I reached a certain point and then my tears just dried

I'm dead inside, dead inside
I can't feel a thing because I'm dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside
You should have met me years ago, I'm dead inside

I went to the doctor said I can't feel a thing
he looked me over, outside and in
Doc said I'm fine, but the doctor lied
What he couldn't tell me was I'm dead inside

I'm dead inside, dead inside
I can't feel a thing because I'm dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside
I'm just a fresh cadaver, I am dead inside

I read about the plane that crashed into the sea
but that sort of thing has no effect on me
some call me jaded, others say I'm snide
but I just think it's 'cause I'm dead inside.

I'm dead inside, dead inside
I'm filled up with novocaine, I'm dead inside
Dead inside, dead inside
Just a burned out oak tree, I am dead inside
