From the outside

From the outside

You could change your mind
You could reach back and find me
You could have a change of heart

I am standing here and looking back in time
Standing watching the world go by
Each fight and communication failure seems like an act of war

Pain and passion combined and not always the best thing
Two forces slamming into each other and destruction is ensured
The power of want and need just adds to each fresh blow

Now I feel like I am looking in from the outside
Looking in from the outside and wondering once more
Just wanting to know so bad, baby what went wrong?

The power of love is so true
The power of failure a feeling that burns so real
One step forward and then stumbling backwards

The truth is so close but snatched away
The feelings of happiness as fleeting as the winter sun
Darkness comes again and I just want to know

Now I feel like I am looking in from the outside
Looking in from the outside and wondering once more
Just wanting to know so bad, baby what went wrong?
