From the Outside In
Surely I've watched
Surely I've seen
Myself from the outside looking in
And the sight was heart wrenching, my friends
It makes me want life to end
When I'm on the outside looking in
Sometimes I want to feel again
As if though I have self worth
But all at once it hits me
Oh, what pain, such hurt
I never have a hand to lend
I'm busy on the outside looking in
I like to pretend to be pretty
As if makeup is my disguise
They say it's about the inside
But everyone sees through their eyes
Please, oh please, tell me when
I can stray from the outside, not looking in
Maybe if I die, my friends
I won't have to worry about looking in again
