Always on the hunt for what I thought I had
I guess I'm still hunting
Everybody would do anything for you
Until you need 'em to do something

I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
Thought it was done but it happened again
Thought I was out of the places I've been
Thought it was done but it happened again
I never let it get under my skin
I'm always moving through thick and the thin
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in
I'm on the outside, I'm looking right in

Surrounded by these people that I thought were my friends
But it's all really so fragile, anything and it ends
Feel like I don't matter, everybody flatter
But ain't nobody with me when I need 'em, then they scatter, yeah
Never the core, always edge of the herd
And I'm never a number two, always a third
And I never get heard, I don't get a word
If it's me or him then I'm out on the curb
So I fly like a bird just to get on my feet
Go it alone but I can't be complete
Might just go become a liar and cheat
So maybe then all this won't happen to me

(I done been up all night)

I got people I don't know anymore by choice
People who ain't never trust my vision or my voice
People come and go
I got people who ain't never tried to make amends
Got a couple enemies and a lot of fake friends
I'm used to it though
