outside looking in lyrics

You don't know my name
You don't know anything about me
I tried to play nice
I wanna be in your game

The things that you say
Now you may think
I never hear about them

But word travels fast
I'm telling you to your face
I'm standing here behind your back

You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out

And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
On the outside looking in

If you could read my mind
You might see more of me
Than meets the eye

And you've been all wrong
Not who you think I am
You've never given me a chance

You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out

And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
On the outside looking in

I'm tired of staying at home
I'm bored and all alone
I'm sick of wasting all my time

You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out

And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
On the outside looking in

You don't know how it feels
To be outside the crowd
You don't know what it's like
To be left out

And you don't know how it feels
To be your own best friend
On the outside looking in
