Outside Looking In

[intro] Verse 1: I saw you there across the room Laughing loud under the neon gloom Your eyes, they sparkle, but not for me Since you traded us for his company Verse 2: We used to dance, we used to fly Now I'm just a shadow as you pass by With him, you're glowing, a perfect scene While I'm just a footnote of what could've been [hook] Chorus: Now I'm on the outside looking in Seeing my tomorrow with the ghost of what's been Heartbroken whispers, now you're with him I'm on the outside, and it's looking so grim Verse 3: I remember laughs, I remember cries Now they're just echoes under other guys’ skies You moved on fast, didn't skip a beat While I'm still piecing back my half-complete [break] Verse 4: There you go, hand in his like it's meant to be Every smile you share, used to be with me How do you rewrite the stars so quick? Am I the only one who feels sick? Chorus: Now I'm on the outside looking in Seeing my tomorrow with the ghost of what's been Heartbroken whispers, now you're with him I'm on the outside, and it's looking so grim Verse 5: You're his world now, you're his queen In a castle of lies, so pristine I was your truth, but you chose the dare Now I watch you vanish into thin air Verse 6: Maybe tomorrow, I'll find a way To clear the clouds and chase the pain away But tonight, I'm just a shadow's friend Watching you with him, wondering what could've been Chorus: Now I'm on the outside looking in Seeing my tomorrow with the ghost of what's been Heartbroken whispers, now you're with him I'm on the outside, and it's looking so grim Outro: One day I'll be past the pain, past the blue But tonight, I'm just the fool who lost you Outside looking in, and it's hard to pretend That seeing you with him isn't making me bend [Fade to End]
