Standing on the Outside Looking In

Standing on the outside looking in
I take apart my heart while wondering
"Where did I go wrong?"
"Was I lying all along?"
"Drawing you by string?"

Waiting for the clocks to move again
Seconds sit still, won't let go of the hand
As if I was stuck in this moment
Helpless and frozen in the headlights
Making sense of who I am

Little devils creep out of the details
Start to spin their stories
Lovers turn to strangers
We should've seen it coming
I guess it comes with the territory
When you're standing on the outside looking

Standing on the outside looking in
I take apart my heart while wondering
Why I feel the same
As all my glory fades
I'm the one to blame, I'll never change

Little devils creep out of the details
Start to spin their stories
Lovers turn to strangers
Who should've seen it coming
I guess it comes with the territory
When you're standing on the outside looking in

(Lush string arrangment)

Little devils creep out of the details
Start to spin their stories
Lovers turn to strangers
We should've seen it coming
I guess it comes with the territory
When you're standing on the outside looking in
When you're standing on the outside looking in
When you're standing on the outside looking in
(Massive guitar tone, obviously)
