To Love Her Inside
Unveiling the Soul's Longing: To Love Her Inside by Jeffrey Gaines
Lyrics
Please do not disturb her
Asking not to disturb her; she's trying to sort out her life
She's hoping to put her affairs in their place
She's examining herself in the mirror and dealing with aging
Looks in the mirror
Dealing with the difficulties of aging and its effects on her appearance
Not much fun coping
Struggling to cope with the changes in her life
With all the new lines on her face
Feeling lonely despite being surrounded by people; she sets her own rules
The fact is she's lonely
She surrounds herself with foolish people but spends money to hide her mistakes
She makes the rules
Despite her achievements, she still longs for being a mother and a wife
Surrounds herself with fools
Desires love and recognition for who she is inside
Throws 'round all her money
She dreams like a child but wakes up to reality feeling ordinary and unloved
But that's what it takes
Despite her appearance, she doesn't feel special or cherished
To white wash her mistakes from view
She's not known or recognized others well, not even those close to her
Still one ambition remains
She's resilient against hurtful words, believing only what she perceives
An aching hunger denied
She's trapped by her pride, unable to create a true home for herself
To live life as mother and wife
Desperately seeking love and acceptance for her true self
To know someone loves her inside
Still seeking someone to love her for who she is internally
Won't somebody love her inside
She has dreams and aspirations akin to a child's innocence and purity
Dreams like only a child can
Her dreams contrast starkly with the reality she wakes up to
Beaming with light
She feels unremarkable despite her dreams and aspirations
The most wonderful sight in the world
She doesn't feel special or valued; lacks a sense of identity
But wakes from her slumber
She has difficulty recognizing and connecting with others
More onion than pearl
She's emotionally resilient against hurtful words due to her beliefs
And she's nobody's little blond girl
Despite her resilience, she feels trapped by her own pride
That fact is she never
She's isolated and feels like she can't create a true sense of home for herself
Recognized others
Seeking genuine love and acceptance for her true self
Not sisters or brothers or you
She still struggles to accept herself despite being on stage where she can hide her true emotions
But words will not hurt her
Desiring someone to love and accept her for who she is internally
Cause all she perceives
Seeking emotional security and love for her true self
Is all she believes to be true
Continues to seek love and acceptance for her true self
Still she sits staring alone
Struggling with self-acceptance, seeking external validation
A prisoner of her bullshit pride
Feels inadequate and unable to find someone who truly understands and loves her internally
In a castle she'll never call home
Despite her achievements, she still longs for genuine love and acceptance
Until somebody loves her inside
Desperately seeking someone to love and cherish her for who she is inside
Won't somebody love her inside
Still hoping and yearning for someone to truly understand and love her internally
Won't somebody love her
Continues to seek genuine love and acceptance for her true self
Still can't accept who she is
Struggles with self-acceptance despite being able to hide behind a facade on stage
But up on the stage she can hide
Avoiding facing the things she desires and longs for
From all of the things she will miss
Desires someone who can love her for who she truly is inside
Like someone to love her inside
Seeking genuine and unconditional love for her true self
Won't somebody love her inside
Continuing to yearn for someone to love and cherish her for who she is internally
