I walk this road alone shadows by my side
Watching from the edges where my hopes reside
They laugh and dance together I'm the silent mime
Caught in my own echo just a step behind

Oh I'm always on the outside looking in
Dreaming of a place where I might begin
Trying to find a way to break the spell
But I'm always left out lost in my own hell

Conversations pass me by whispers in the air
I'm a ghost among the living standing unaware
They weave their world without me I'm a missing thread
A story never spoken words that go unsaid

Oh I'm always on the outside looking in
Dreaming of a place where I might begin
Trying to find a way to break the spell
But I'm always left out lost in my own hell

Maybe one day they'll see the tears I hide
See the cracks within this smile the loneliness inside
But until that day arrives I'll just play my part
The lonely silent witness with a breaking heart

Oh I'm always on the outside looking in
Dreaming of a place where I might begin
Trying to find a way to break the spell
But I'm always left out lost in my own hell

So I'll keep on walking shadows by my side
Hoping for a moment to be seen and not denied
But until the day I find where I belong
I'll sing this song of being left out a silent lonely song
