She once hoped to love again
Hard to cope she remembers way back when 
A time in her life a man left her lonely 
She stops to wonder what it's all about 
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside lookin' out 

She's one of the lonely ones
Broken heart but she don't let on
She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall
One of the lonely ones,
Wastin' tears as the years roll on 
The time passes slow when you're lonely 

She stares where she saw him last
Sees his face in a photograph 
It's all in her past, can't let it go 
It starts her thinkin' how it might've been 
They never thought it could ever end
She's on the inside lookin' out 

And when she tries to sleep at night
She reminisces when he held her tight 
He's no longer there, he's nowhere in sight
There's certain words she should've said
Now she's dreamin' alone in bed 
She's on the inside lookin' out 

She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts 
She's on the inside, inside lookin' out 

[Chorus]
