Outside in Songtext

von Circle of Dust

It's hard for me to face that so much time has passed
And all the things that went away
Were those I thought would last
It's hard to look into the mirror dark within
And not embracing the reflection there
May be my greatest sin!

Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in
It's like I'm watching someone else
Living in my skin
Hope has stained my heart in vain
I'm drowning in my sin
Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in!

Outside looking in!

Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart
And thinking I am winning in a race I didn't start
Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?
How can I be connecting while I'm unplugged in my heart?

Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in
It's like I'm watching someone else
Living in my skin
Hope has stained my heart in vain
I'm drowning in my sin
Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in!

Outside looking in!

Father have mercy on your son
And always bring me home again however far I've run
Father grant wisdom for within
So I no longer have to be on the outside looking in!
