The Outside

I stared in from the outside
And wanted you so badly
I cant see you this way
Cause you would never have me

Looking from a distance I can act like I'm the one
I can be just who you want
But your heart won't follow me

Hesitation finds me
Watching hands go round
Pick up the phone to call you
I know you won't answer

Looking from a distance, I can act like I'm the one
I can be just who you want
But your heart won't follow me
If I can't be the greatest at everything I ever do
Insecurity takes hold of me
While life takes hold of you

I'm on the outs, I'm looking in
I see myself, Stuck in the middle
Their fleeting looks, and judgmental eyes
You can do better than me, so they'll say
Will you endure, opinions of others
Any real feelings, you'd better hide
You have your place, and I know mine
It's safer on The Outside

Looking from a distance, I can act like I'm the one
I can be just who you want, but your heart won't follow me
If I can't be the greatest at everything I ever do
Insecurity takes hold of me, while life takes hold of you
