How does it feel on your half of the world If you'd ask they'd say nothings changed on mine. Just because I tell a joke or two And believe I've got the whole world fooled Done a damn good job to hide the hurt behind the lies Didn't even tell my mama, even my best friend. How you walked out and took my pride. I've been livin' on the outside dyin' on the inside I've been livin' on the outside dyin' on the inside. I won't pass up a single Friday night, And I wear this smile and pray that they don't ask Why they never seem to see what was once the other half of me. I just hold my breath and hide behind this mask. I didn't even tell my mama Or even my best friend How you walked out and Lord I've tried I've been livin' on the outside dyin' on the inside I've been livin' on the outside dyin' on the inside Walls if I just tear down these walls And admit it was over, maybe it would be over. And Then I could tell my mama, even my best friend. How you talked out and bled me dry. I've been livin' on the outside dyin' on the inside. I'm through livin' on the outside dyin' on inside Oh I was livin' on the outside dyin' on the inside I'm through livin' on the outside, dyin' on the inside
