lyrics

We both know the reason
The other shoe was dropped
Put my finger on it
But the bleeding just wouldn’t stop

Wasn't written on the wall
Just in lines on my face
It’s tough to swallow
How bitter tears always taste

Why’m I on the outside looking in
Standing in the flower bed again
Peeking through the window trying to feel
The warmth of something real

Why am I always here alone
Sitting in the dark staring at my phone
Wishing maybe you would call
Or you’d think of me at all

A pretty face is trouble
Cause most are just fool’s gold
Wouldn't listen to a word I said
and never did one thing she’s told

I’m the last man standing
When it’s all said and done
We didn’t stick the landing
Cause we flew too close to the sun

Everything that’s lost
Does not get found
You can't always get back up
When you’ve been knocked down

Why’m I on the outside looking in
Standing in the flower bed again
Peeking through the window trying to feel
The warmth of something real

Why am I always here alone
Sitting in the dark staring at my phone
Wishing maybe you would call
Or you’d think of me at all

Months standing on the brink
Too stubborn to ever bend
You never really think it
Might be the start of the end
