You've closed a door in front of me
|
I wait patiently outside
|
And as the minutes tick away
|
I feel my anger rise
|
|
And who's the object of my rage?
|
And who's not being fair?
|
Is it you for your indifference?
|
Or me for just standing there?
|
|
'Cause in my mind the room beyond
|
is bathed in golden light
|
Well I dream about you through the day
|
and I toss and turn at night
|
|
Sometimes it's hard to understand
|
When they say that pride's a sin
|
Should I go or should I stay
|
on the outside looking in?
|
|
Well I didn't make the grade today
|
and I'm not the only one
|
But my heart won't stop hurting
|
my feeling all alone
|
|
And maybe we'll trade places
|
in some not so distant year
|
I'll hear your voice a-calling out
|
and I'd cover up my ears
|
|
'Cause in my mind the room beyond
|
is bathed in golden light
|
well I dream about you through the day
|
and I toss and turn at night
|
|
Well sometimes it's hard to understand
|
when they say that pride's a sin
|
An' should I go or should I stay
|
on the outside looking in?
|
|
well I could brag on the things I've done
|
or the places I have been
|
But I've never found a cure
|
for on the outside looking in
|
|
Sometimes it's hard to understand
|
when they say that pride's a sin
|
Should I go or should I stay
|
on the outside looking in?
