[Verse 1]
You've got a dangerous background
And everything you've dreamed of
Yeah, you're the dark angel
It don't show when you break up
[Verse 2]
And I'm the one who oughta know
Yeah, I'm the one left in the dust
Yeah, I'm the brokenhearted fool
Who was never quite enough
[Verse 3]
Oh, I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire
Yes, and I've had to live with some hard promises
I've crawled through the briars, I'm an insider
[Verse 4]
It's a circle of deception
It's a hall of strangers
It's a cage without a key
You can feel the danger
[Verse 5]
And I'm the one who oughta know
Yeah, I'm the one you couldn't trust
Yes, I'm the lonely, silent one
I'm the one left in the dust
[Verse 6]
Oh, I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire
Yes, and I've had to live with some hard promises
I've crawled through the briars, I'm an insider
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh
[Verse 8]
Well, I'll bet you're his masterpiece
I'll bet you're his self-control
And you'll become his legacy
His quiet world of white and gold
[Verse 9]
And I'm the one who oughta know
Yeah, I'm the one you left to rust
And not one of your twisted friends
I'm the one you couldn't love
[Verse 10]
Oh, I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire
Yes, and I've had to live with some hard promises
I've crawled through the briars, I'm an insider
I'm an insider
