you close the door in front of me i wait patiently outside and as the minutes tick away i feel the anger rise and who s the object of my rage and who s not being fair is it you for your indifference or me for just standing there cause in my mind the room beyond is bathed in golden light i dream about you through the day and i toss and turn at night sometimes it s hard to understand when they say that pride s a sin should i go or should i stay on the outside looking in well i didn t make the grade today and i m not the only one but my heart it won t stop hurting and feeling all alone maybe we ll trade places in some not too distant year i ll hear your voice calling out and i ll cover up my ears cause in my mind the room beyond is bathed in golden light i dream about you through the day and i toss and turn at night sometimes it s hard to understand when they say that pride s a sin should i go or should i stay on the outside looking in well i could brag on the things i ve done or the places i have been but i never found a cure for on the outside looking in sometimes it s hard to understand when they say that pride s a sin should i go or should i stay on the outside looking in
