The Outside

I didn't know what I would find

When I went looking for a reason, I know

I didn't read between the lines

And, baby, I've got nowhere to go

I tried to take the road less traveled by

But nothing seems to work the first few times

Am I right?

So how can I ever try to be better?

Nobody ever lets me in

I can still see you, this ain't the best view

On the outside looking in

I've been a lot of lonely places

I've never been on the outside

You saw me there, but never knew

That I would give it all up to be

A part of this, a part of you

And now, it's all too late, so you see

You could've helped if you had wanted to

But no one notices until it's too late to do anything

How can I ever try to be better?

Nobody ever lets me in

I can still see you, this ain't the best view

On the outside looking in

I've been a lot of lonely places

I've never been on the outside

Oh, yeah

How can I ever try to be better?

Nobody ever lets me in

And I can still see you, this ain't the best view

On the outside looking in

I've been a lot of lonely places

I've never been on the outside

Oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh
