You can ask me to hang out
But I already have plans
With my spiraling mind
And my two working hands

You can ask me questions
Like where have I been
Doesn't mean I have to answer
Open up, or let you in

I wanna be an outsider
It's too painful looking in
Have fun with the insiders
The risk is too big

Yes, I have my reasons
I've been burned before
You let them get close
Then they expose your core

You give them your heart
As they're asking for more
You give them your world
Then they show you the door

I wanna be an outsider
It's too painful looking in
Have fun with the insiders
The risk is too big

I wanna be an outsider
It's too painful looking in
How could I be an insider
When I don't fit in?

I wanna be an outsider
I wanna be an outsider
I wanna be an outsider
I wanna be an outsider
