The Outside

Oh I've loved you a long time,
Your sweet smile,
It's a magnet to my heart on my sleeve.
Oh I've loved you a long time,
But I don't know if or when you'll ever love me.

But I feel like God
Because we're never in the same place,
But we're always together, somehow

I'm alone,
On the other side of a locked door.
And I'm cold, here,
But people don't seem to care anymore.
I see you warm and safe in this room of society
And I smile,
Even though I'm freezing here on the outside.

Oh I've tried to fit in for a long time,
But there are some things where I gotta draw the line.
For a friend I'd give up my life, but
I'd never be prepared to give up my soul.
Oh I've tried to fit in but somehow,
I'm a triangle in a circle hole.

But I feel left out
Because I'm always here and you,
You're always there

I'm alone,
On the other side of a locked door.
And I'm cold, here
But people don't seem to care anymore.
I see you warm and safe in this room of society
And I smile, 
Even though I'm freezing here on the outside.

Sometimes I start to cry,
Because I think that it's not a case of bad memory.
It's not my fault I'm so shy,
But their bad intentions get the better of me.
I find words for you,
But they get lost in the cold.
I'd love to go in,
But I'm okay watching you grow comfortably old.

I feel like I'm missing out,
Because I've been drowned out
By people who are competing with me
For you.

I'm alone,
On the other side of a locked door.
And I'm cold, here
But people don't seem to care anymore,
I see you warm and safe in the room of society,
And I wish I was with you.
But instead I'm dying here on the outside.
