Yes you bet you'd be dead but you came back home

You had no place to go, a failure all your own

Start again, find a friend need a hand to hold

A lack of self control, another all time low.

Upset you regret you don't measure up

You gave it everything, it wasn't good enough

This is once what we were fighting for....

I know you'll never believe me

It feels like i'm always on the outside

Always on the outside looking in

It's not that easy

It feels like i'm dying on the inside

Always on the outside looking in

Broken plans, folded hands, it all came undone

The favors traded in and now you're down to one

You're a mess in distress and you're falling fast

Who's gonna save you now and help erase the past

Time keeps ticking away, another waste of a day

Stuck in the middle with no solution

Just another let down, never gonna break out

I can't take this.....

I know you'll never believe me

It feels like i'm always on the outside

Always on the outside looking in

It's not that easy

It feels like i'm dying on the inside

Always on the outside looking in

Just another let down, never gonna break out

I know you'll never believe me

It feels like i'm always on the outside

Always on the outside looking in

It's not that easy

It feels like i'm dying on the inside

Always on the outside looking in
