The Outside

I left a trail of excuses Wrapped in a thread of lies Sold them all off as reasons And justified them in my mind Said I couldn't afford to believe in The potential of you and I But little I knew I'd be setting Myself up to wither and die Cause I let us crumble Before the chance to let us fly Thought I could achieve bliss Without you in my life But that ain't no way to survive Living on the outside begging for your love (No) Waisting all of my time Watching you live your life Living on the inside (Oh) I'll keep on working those reasons And walking in a straight line Both feet tied to the ground Hoping I might fly Hoping I might fly Cause I can't change what I have done Now that door's shut behind But that ain't no way to survive Living on the outside begging for your love (No) Waisting all of my time Watching you live your life Living on the inside (Oh) Every bone of mine Every breath of mine Every thought of you Was not enough to suffice Every bone of mine Every breath of mine Every thought of you Couldn't save my life Cause that ain't no way to survive Living on the outside begging for your love (No) Waisting all of my time Watching you live your life Living on the inside (Oh) That ain't no way to survive Living on the outside Survive Living on the outside Survive Living on the outside The outside The outside
