[Intro]
I’m happy on the outside looking in
Looking at all the lonely people

[Verse 1]
All I can see is you’re flawless in this race
And it kills me, I’m lost in an overcrowded place
Can’t conceal all the cracks in the perfect porcelain
I can feel that it hurts but I do it all again

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of watching you
And everything you do
Been following a ghost for far too long
(Far too long)

[Chorus]
I’m happy on the outside looking in
I’d rather be alone than don’t fit in
I’m happy on the outside looking in
And now I am
Looking at all the lonely people
Looking at all the lonely people

[Verse 2]
All I can hear are the voices in my head
They’re still here and they ask:
“Where the hell you think you’re going?”
They say: “Birds of a feather will go down together”
It feels better and better the further I get away
Get rid of the pressure and finally treasure
What’s hidden inside of me
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of watching you
And everything you do
Been following a ghost for far too long
(Far too long)

[Chorus]
I’m happy on the outside looking in
I’d rather be alone than don’t fit in
I’m happy on the outside looking in
And now I am
Looking at all the lonely people
Looking at all the lonely people

I’m happy on the outside looking in
I’d rather be alone than don’t fit in
I’m happy on the outside looking in
And now I am
Looking at all the lonely people
Looking at all the lonely people

[Outro]
It’s getting better and better
Better and better, better and better
The further I get away
From all the lonely people
