Look at what you've done Stand still, falling away from me When it takes so long Fire's out, what do you want to be? Now I'm holding on Myself was never enough for me Gotta be so strong There's a power in what you do Now every other day I'll be watching you I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside We did everything right Now I'm on the outside I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside We did everything right Now I'm on the outside So, you give me no reason For me to stay close to you Tell me what lovers do How are we still breathing? It's never for us to choose I'll be the strength in you Now I'm holding on (I'm holding on) Myself was never enough for me Gotta be so strong There's a power in what you do Now every other day I'll be watching you I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside We did everything right Now I'm on the outside I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside We did everything right Now I'm on the outside I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside I'll show you what it feels like I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside We did everything right Now I'm on the outside
