It's around me this emptiness
All around me the walls are closing in
Show me a way to try lend me your flames to hide
Tell me there's still more to this

'Cause I know this place is not my home
This place is not my home

I'm on the outside looking in
Bring me back to life again
I see Heaven in your eyes
In a world of broken dreams
You give me something to believe
I see Heaven in your eyes
And I don't wanna live on the outside looking in

Living inside this brokenness
Trying to find what this life really is
Show me a sign of life, give me a reason why
Something inside wants to forgive

'Cause I know this place is not my home
This place is not my home

I'm on the outside looking in
Bring me back to life again
I see Heaven in your eyes
In a world of broken dreams
You give me something to believe
I see Heaven in your eyes
And I don't wanna live on the outside looking in

You shine a light and I can't look away
I can't deny, this time I want to change
And I can finally see it so clearly you've shown me
That all the pain will someday soon erase

I'm on the outside looking in
Bring me back to life again
I'm on the outside looking in

I'm on the outside looking in
Bring me back to life again
I see Heaven in your eyes 
In a world of broken dreams
You give me something to believe
I see Heaven in your eyes
And I don't wanna live on the outside looking in
