Insider

[Verse 1]

You've got a dangerous background

And everything you've dreamed of

Yeah, you're the dark angel

It don't show when you break up

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And I'm the one who oughta know

I'm the one left in the dust

Yeah, I'm the broken-hearted fool

Who was never quite enough

[Chorus]

I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire

And I've had to live with some hard promises

I've crawled through the briars

I'm an insider

[Verse 2]

It's a circle of deception

It's a hall of strangers

It's a cage without a key

You can feel the danger

[Pre-Chorus 2]

And I'm the one who oughta know

I'm the one you couldn't trust

I'm the lonely, silent one

I'm the one left in the dust

[Chorus]

I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire

And I've had to live with some hard promises

I've crawled through the briars

I'm an insider

[Verse 3]

I'll bet you're his masterpiece

I'll bet you're his self-control

Yeah you'll become his legacy

His quiet world of white and gold

[Pre-Chorus 3]

And I'm the one who oughta know

I'm the one you left to rust

Not one of your twisted friends

I'm the one you couldn't love

[Chorus]

I'm an insider, I've been burned by the fire

And I've had to live with some hard promises

I've crawled through the briars

I'm an insider
