Lyrics

And you can bring me to my knees again

All the times that I could beg you, please, in vain

All the times that I felt insecure for you

And I leave all burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside, I'm lookin' in

I can see through you, see your true colors

'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me

I can see through you, see to the real you

All the times that I felt like this won't end

It's for you

And I taste what I could never have

It was from you

All the times that I've cried

My intentions were full of pride

But I waste more time than anyone

But I'm on the outside, and I'm looking in

I can see through you, see your true colors

'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me

I can see through you, see to the real you

And all the times that I've cried

All this wasted, it's all inside

And I feel all this pain

Stuffed it down, it's back again

And I lie here in bed

All alone, I can't mend

But I feel tomorrow will be okay

But I'm on the outside, and I'm looking in

I can see through you, see your true colors

Inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me

I can see through you, see to the real you
