Prisoner On The Inside Lyrics - The Living End

She used to give me roses 

I wish she could again 

But that was on the outside 

And things were different then 

We built our world together 

With a love so clear and strong 

But that was on the outside 

Where did I go wrong 

On the inside the sun still shines 

and the rain falls down 

But the sun and rain are prisoners too 

When the morning comes around 

Last night I dreamed we were together 

Sharing all the love we'd known 

Till I had to face the nightmare 

Of waking up alone 

On the inside the sun still shines 

and the rain falls down 

But the sun and rain are prisoners too 

When the morning comes around (x2) 

on the inside the roses grow 

They don't mind the stoney ground 

But the roses are just prisoners too 

when the morning comes around!
