Outsider Lyrics by Trish Murphy

Rubies on the Lawn

1999

What's it like to be on the downhill side?
I'm still on the other side
And I'm finding it so hard that
I just stopped trying

I'm so ordinary when you look at me
Nothing really or very bad has ever happened to me
And it feels like nothing matters anymore
As I open up this door

I am on the outside, looking in
Hello, these are my would-be friends
You all say "you look fine to me,"
But I'm not what I seem to be
Do not trust what you see

It's getting close the three
And I'm wasting time
I must be out of my mind
To be waiting for the words to come and find me

Has anybody seen my bettеr side?
Or seen me from the insidе
Looking out on all I tried to leave behind?
When it feels like I don't matter anymore
And I can't get through this door

I'm still on the outside, looking in
Hello, these are my would-be friends
You all say "you look fine to me,"
But I'm not what I seem to be

I'm still on the outside (looking in)
I'm still on the outside (looking in)
I am on the outside (looking in)
Looking in
