Outside looking in

You don't know my name 
you don't know anything about me 
I try to play nice 
I want to be in your game 
The things that you say 
You may think I never hear about them 
But word travels fast 
I'm telling you to your face 
I'm standing here behind your back 

[Chorus] 
You don't know how it feels 
To be outside the crowd 
You don't know what it's like 
To be left out 
And you don't know how it feels 
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in 

If you could read my mind 
You might see more of me that meets the eye 
And you've been all wrong 
Not who you think I am 
You've never given me a chance 

[Chorus] 
You don't know how it feels 
To be outside the crowd 
You don't know what it's like 
To be left out 
And you don't know how it feels 
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in 

Well, I'm tired of staying at home 
I'm bored and alone 
I'm sick of wasting all my time 

[Chorus x2] 
You don't know how it feels 
To be outside the crowd 
You don't know what it's like 
To be left out 
And you don't know how it feels 
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in 

You don't know how it feels 
To be outside the crowd 
You don't know what it's like 
To be left out 
And you don't know how it feels 
To be your own best friend on the outside looking in
