Another fast train took you for a ride
Made your heart beat faster every time he lied
He really had his shit together
On the outside

Why trust men with a world of lies to hide?
My soul has shivered every time you've cried
But still you've always left me
On the outside

Baubles are pretty but merely tricks to be tried
They are traps set for you to fall inside
Superficial glitter only makes you pretty
On the outside

A man can't give you what he hasn't got inside
And you can't quench your thirst from an empty cup
At least I'm only messed up
On the outside

I've never hidden how I feel inside
And waited a long time with my arms open wide
Allow me to express my passion and my love
On the outside

I think it's high time for you and I to collide
Our common ground is shared at the bottom of our slides
Take me in both your hands and take me
On the inside
