[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart
(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?
(Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?)
How can I be connecting while I'm unplugged in my heart?

[Chorus]
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
