​outside looking in

PART I: it happened again

[Intro]
(Lock on target!)
Always on the hunt for what I thought I had
Still hunting, I'm still hunting, yeah
Everybody would do anything for you
'Till you need 'em to do something, something, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
Thought it was done but it happened again
Thought I was out of the places I've been
Thought it was done but it happened again
I never let it get under my skin
I'm always moving through thick and the thin
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in

[Post-Chorus]
Always on the hunt for what I thought I had
I guess I'm still hunting
Everybody would do anything for you
Until you need 'em to do something

[Verse]
Surrounded by these people that I thought werе my friends
But it's all really so fragile, anything and it еnds
Feel like I don't matter, everybody flatter
But ain't nobody with me when I need 'em, then they scatter, yeah
Never the core, always edge of the herd
And I'm never a number two, always a third
And I never get heard, I don't get a word
If it's me or him then I'm out on the curb
So I fly like a bird just to get on my feet
Go it alone but I can't be complete
Might just go become a liar and cheat
So maybe then all this won't happen to me

[Chorus]
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
Thought it was done but it happened again
Thought I was out of the places I've been
Thought it was done but it happened again
It's really bouta get under my skin
I'm always moving through thick and the thin
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in

[Post-Chorus]
Always on the hunt for what I thought I had
I guess I'm still hunting
Everybody would do anything for you
Until you need 'em to do something

[Bridge]
And I try and I try and I try and I try my best
(And I try and I try and I try my best)
Still treated, still treated, still treated like a common pest
(Still treated, still treated like a common pest)
Tell me, am I inhuman?
Tell me, am I grotesque?
Tell me why I rot away every home that I infest
Tell me why

[Chorus]
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
Thought it was done but it happened again
Thought I was out of the places I've been
Thought it was done but it happened again
Sad 'cause it really got under my skin
I'm always moving through thick and the thin
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in

[Outro]
Always on the hunt for what I thought I had
I guess I'm still, still, still, still, still, still, still
(I never let it get under my skin...)

PART II: people

[Intro]
(If you wish to leave a record of your call, please state your message at the sound of the tone.)
(I done been up all night)
(I done been- I done been up all night, all night, night)
(I done been up all night)
(I done been- I done been up all night, all night)

[Verse]
I got people I don't know anymore by choice
People who ain't never trust my vision or my voice
People come and go
I got people who ain't never tried to make amends
(I got people who ain't never tr-)
Got a couple enemies and a lot of fake friends
I'm used to it though

[Outro]
(I done been up all night)
(I done been- I done been)
