Circle Of Dust - Outside In lyrics

[Verse 1] It's hard for me to face that so much time has pa**ed And all the things that went away were those I thought would last It's hard to look into the mirror dark within And not embracing the reflection there may be my greatest sin [Chorus] Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in It's like I'm watching someone else living in my skin Hope has stained my heart in vain, I'm drowning in my sin Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in Outside looking in [Verse 2] Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart (Standing here with empty hands to fill my heart) And thinking I am winning in a race I didn't start Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark? (Why is it that I always fail to hit the mark?) How can I be connecting while I'm unplugged in my heart? [Chorus] Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in It's like I'm watching someone else living in my skin Hope has stained my heart in vain, I'm drowning in my sin Sometimes I feel I'm on the outside looking in Outside looking in [Outro] Father, have mercy on your son And always bring me home again however far I've run Father, grant wisdom for within So I no longer have to be on the outside looking in
