The Outsider - A Perfect Circle

Does it feel like there's somebody missing at the party? Or is everybody fine where they are? (Without me) Do you even care that I'm the only one not there Or was forgetting me not really that hard? Do I hate missing out? Or hate the thought of you not missing me? Missing me Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh See it still when I close my eyes I go back to those summer nights Driving fast down a dead-end road Staying out past the afterglow Now you're laughing with someone new Doing things that we used to do And I'm just someone you used to know The outsider of an inside joke So hard not to notice when you're not around Caught up in a memory and I can't come down And nobody warned me How bad it would haunt me To see you so happy Out on your own Do I hate missing out? Or hate the thought of you not missing me? Missing me Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh See it still when I close my eyes I go back to those summer nights Driving fast down a dead-end road Staying out past the afterglow Now you're laughing with someone new Doing things that we used to do And I'm just someone you used to know The outsider of an inside joke Is the joke on me? Was I the only one that Didn't see it coming? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Is the joke on me? Was I the only one that Didn't see it coming? Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh See it still when I close my eyes I go back to those summer nights Driving fast down a dead-end road Staying out past the afterglow Now you're laughing with someone new Doing things that we used to do And I'm just someone you used to know The outsider of an inside joke And I'm just someone you used to know The outsider of an inside joke

Feeling like a loser, feeling like a bum Sittin' on the outside observin' the fun Don't get on my bad side, I can work a gun Hop into the backseat, baby, I'll show you some fun These people are weird in here and they're givin' me the fear Just because you know my name doesn't mean you know my game I look myself in the face and whisper, "I'm in the wrong place" Is there more to lose, than gain if I go on my own again? On my own again? Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside People are connectin', don't know what to say I'm good at protectin' what they wanna take Spilt the milk at breakfast, hit me double-hard And I grinned at you softly, cause I'm a fuckin' wild card These people are weird in here and they're givin' me the fear Just because you know my name doesn't mean you know my game I look myself in the face and whisper, "I'm in the wrong place" Is there more to lose, than gain if I go on my own again? On my own again? Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside All I know is I cannot pretend So I'm sittin' on the outside again On my own again Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside (again) On my own again Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside the outsider (on my own again) Inside again Inside again Inside again Inside again

Metaphor for a missing moment Pull me into your perfect circle One womb, one shame, one resolve Liberate this will to release us all Gotta cut away, clear away Snip away and sever this umbilical residue Keeping me from killing you And from pulling you down with me in here I can almost hear you scream One more medicated, peaceful moment Give me one more medicated, peaceful moment And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility Gotta cut away, clear away Snip away and sever this umbilical residue Gotta cut away, clear away Snip away and sever this umbilical residue Keeping me from killing you Snip away and sever this Keeping me from killing you
