| I’ve never been able to make you believe in me,
|
| You have always been too wrapped up to see,
|
| How am I to make you understand?
|
| How am I to make you understand that I can do anything that he could want out
|
| of me?
|
| Now I am gonna be the leader he wants me to be,
|
| Maybe I should help you understand,
|
| Maybe you should let me help you understand,
|
| And I know it’s our turn,
|
| It’s time to do this on our own.
|
| And we’ve been saying it all along,
|
| And now you’re staring in from the outside.
|
| There was nothing we could do to convince you to stay,
|
| 'Cause you had made up your mind you were walking away,
|
| How am I to make you understand?
|
| How am I to make you understand?
|
| We were gonna do whatever we thought it would take, as long as it was a
|
| decision he told us to make,
|
| Maybe I should help you understand,
|
| Maybe you should let me help you understand,
|
| And I know it’s our turn,
|
| It’s time to do this on our own.
|
| And we’ve been saying it all along,
|
| And now you’re staring in from the outside,
|
| You thought you we’re safe, but you were wrong,
|
| And now you’re the one being outside.
|
| Is it cold out there, where you’re all alone?
|
| But you could come back inside if it weren’t for your pride,
|
| Just let it go, just let it go.
|
| And we’ve been saying you were wrong,
|
| We’ve been saying you were wrong,
|
| We’ve been saying you were wrong,
|
| We’ve been saying you were wrong.
|
| And we’ve been saying it all along,
|
| And now you’re staring in from the outside, (from outside)
|
| You thought you we’re safe, but you were wrong,
|
| And now you’re the one being outside. |
| (outside, oh) |
