[Verse 1] In the wake of morning light These thoughts that I can't defend Better keep this to myself The dark it calls me a friend All this time my door was closed to you But I see now what I'm supposed to do [Chorus] 'Cause I'm on the outside, but not looking in I know the path to take, but I can't get myself to begin So what's the upside, to walk through the pain? I know the path to take, and I'm the only one in my way [Verse 2] The daylight is fading fast, but how can I move along? The old fears are coming back The ones that I thought were gone The world has been kind to me, it's true But I can't send that that kindness back to you [Chorus] 'Cause I'm on the outside, but not looking in I know the path to take, but I can't get myself to begin So what's the upside, to walk through the pain? I know the path to take, and I'm the only one in my way [Outro] I'm on the outside And I know the path to take, and I'm the only one in my way And I'm the only one in my way And I'm the only one in my way
