[Verse 1]
The biggest lies I've ever told were to myself
(It's all black, you'll never find love)
That self-loathing sickness that we all pretend is health
(They're better than you, they're better than you)
Oh, I can hear the thing that I think they see
Yes, I can hate myself much more than they'll ever hate me
(Bury me deep, bury me deep)

But there isn't only darkness and there isn't only light
The colors that I keep within are much more than black and white
I know that every single one of us has got a world inside
(Wonderful love, beautiful dreams)
(Mmmm, mmmm)

[Verse 2]
If you gonna run, well, you know you've gotta fall
(You're gonna fall down, gonna get back up)
And if you wanna feel love, you've got to feel it all
(Hopes and fears, laughter, tears)
If you want the joy in life, you know you gonna cry
'Cause joy comes with a bitter truth that you have to say goodbye
(That's how it goes, the way it goes)

But there isn't only darkness and there isn't only light
The colors that we keep within are much more than black and white
I know that every single one of us has got a world inside
(Wonderful love, beautiful dreams)
[Chorus]
(A world inside!)
Sing it loud, sing it proud
(A world inside!)
Sing it like you're not allowed
(A world inside!)
Sing it from the highest clouds
Live a thousand years or a single day
Cause no one can ever ever take that world away
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

[RECORDER SOLO!!!]

[Verse 3]
(Gonna fall down, gonna get back up)
(Hopes and fears, laughter, tears)

Think you're gonna miss it if your eyes are on the ground
So raise your head up and just take a look around
(Take a look around, take a look around)

'Cause there isn't only darkness and there isn't only light
The colors that we keep within are much more than black and white
I know that every single one of us has got a world inside
(Wonderful love, beautiful dreams)
[Chorus]
(A world inside!)
Sing it loud and sing it proud (Sing it loud, sing it proud)
(A world inside!)
Sing it like you're not allowed (Sing it like you're not allowed)
(A world inside!)
Sing it from the highest clouds (Sing it from the highest clouds)
Live a thousand years or a single day
Cause no one can ever ever take that world away
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

[Outro]
You can see that every single one of us has got a world inside
