You don't know my name You don't know anything about me I tried to play nice I wanna be in your game
The things that you say Now you may think I never hear about them
But word travels fast I'm telling you to your face I'm standing here behind your back
You don't know how it feels To be outside the crowd You don't know what it's like To be left out
And you don't know how it feels To be your own best friend On the outside looking in
If you could read my mind You might see more of me Than meets the eye
And you've been all wrong Not who you think I am You've never given me a chance
You don't know how it feels To be outside the crowd You don't know what it's like To be left out
And you don't know how it feels To be your own best friend On the outside looking in
I'm tired of staying at home I'm bored and all alone I'm sick of wasting all my time
You don't know how it feels To be outside the crowd You don't know what it's like To be left out And you don't know how it feels To be your own best friend On the outside looking in (Repeat)
