I didn´t know what I would find
When I went looking for a reason, I know
I didn´t read between the lines
And, baby, I´ve got nowhere to go
I tried to take the road less traveled by

But nothing seems to work the first few times
Am I right?

[Chorus:]

So how can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain´t the best view
On the outside looking in
I´ve been a lot of lonely places
I´ve never been on the outside

You saw me there, but never knew
I would give it all up to be
A part of this, a part of you
And now it´s all too late so you see
You could´ve helped if you had wanted to
But no one notices until it´s too

Late to do anything

[Repeat Chorus]

How can I ever try to be better?
Nobody ever lets me in
I can still see you, this ain´t the best view
On the outside looking in
I´ve been a lot of lonely places
I´ve never been on the outside
