Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song about my mother. She is a complex woman who was raised to not show her feelings and I think that there are many women out there in the world who relate to this. I have always thought that it would be a great song for a man to record.
Song Description
This song is about a woman who wants to make others happy before herself so it makes her sad on the inside, but she doesn't let anyone know it; just puts a smile on her face no matter how she is feeling, for the world to see.

RAINING ON THE INSIDE
LORD, SHE SHINES, LIKE A DIAMOND IN THE SUN
DANCING EYES, THAT SPARKLE LIKE THE STARS
YOU?D NEVER KNOW THAT SHE?S FOOLING EVERYONE
SHE WEARS A SMILE TO HIDE WHAT?S IN HER HEART
CHORUS:
SHE?S RAINING, RAINING ON THE INSIDE
STORM CLOUDS, SWELL WITH TEARS UNCRIED
SHE LET THOSE AROUND CONTROL HER AND HER SPIRIT IS DENIED
AND SHE?S RAINING ON THE INSIDE
DAYS TURN TO YEARS, AND STILL SHE HOLDS IN HOW SHE FEELS
HER HOPES, HER DREAMS, SIT IDLE ON THE SHELF
DEEP IN HER EYES LIES THE TRUTH SHE CAN?T CONCEAL
SHE RUNS AWAY SO SHE CAN SAVE HERSELF
CHORUS:
AND SHE?S RAINING, RAINING ON THE INSIDE
STORM CLOUDS SWELL WITH TEARS UNCRIED
SHE LET THOSE AROUND CONTROL HER AND HER SPIRIT IS DENIED
CUZ SHE?S RAINING ON THE INSIDE
YAH, SHE?S RAINING, RAINING ON THE INSIDE
STORM CLOUDS SWELL WITH TEARS UNCRIED
SHE LET THOSE AROUND CONTROL HER AND HER SPIRIT IS DENIED
AND SHE?S RAINING ON THE INSIDE
YAH, SHE?S RAINING ON THE INSIDE
