And you, 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 my burdens at the door (but I know)

(Chorus)

I'm on the outside and I'm lookin' in
I can see through you, see your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me
And I can see through you, see to the real you

All the times that I've 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 know)

(Chorus)

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
And I can see through you, see to the real you

All the times that I've cried
All this wastin', it's all inside
And I feel all this pain
I 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 know)

(Chorus)
I'm on the outside and 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
