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      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
