The Outside Lyrics

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 travelled by,
And nothing seems to work the first few times,

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 to late so you see,
You could've helped if you would have 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.

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 yeah, oh-oh
