On The Outside Looking In

On The Outside Looking In

(10/13/01)

On the outside looking in, what a way to live

It's got its ups and definitely has its downs

No one to bother you, you've been left alone

No one to talk to you, you're own your own

On the outside, looking in. That's where I am

Most of my life, that's how it's been

They might open a window, might open a door

Let me hear they love me and feel they care

Then like the cold, I'd get shut out

Left to feel the hurt, the tears that follow

In my own little world, that's where I dwell

looking in on a world, as if through a window

Ignored and abandoned, all of my life

Except through a window, a window that's locked

Shut out of their world, shut up in my heart

Never to be accepted, never to be loved

On the outside, looking in. I bet you would know

Has more downs than ups, or so it does show
