It's hard for me to face that so much time has passed

And all the things that went away were those I thought would last

It’s hard to look into the mirror dark within

And not embracing the reflection there may be my greatest sin

Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in

It's like I'm watching someone else living in my skin

Hope has stained my heart in vain, I'm drowning in my sin

Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in

Outside looking in

Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart

(Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart)

And thinking I am winning in a race I didn't start

Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?

(Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?)

How can I be connecting while I'm unplugged in my heart?

Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in

It's like I'm watching someone else living in my skin

Hope has stained my heart in vain, I'm drowning in my sin

Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in

Outside looking in

Father, have mercy on your son

And always bring me home again however far I've run

Father, grant wisdom for within

So I no longer have to be on the outside looking in
