I was Mr Nice Guy too long

And I found out that was wrong

And I played the losing role

Now I'm standing at your door

Out in the cold again

Out in the cold again



I didn't know just what was going on

Behind my back for so long

People that couldn't tell right from wrong

Now I'm standing here all alone

Out in the cold again

Out in the cold again



Travelled up and down all around the world

Just to get to nowhere

In the final round I found

How many people really did care



And every time I try talking to you

You don't hear what I'm going through

In this dog eat dog world I'm in

It's a crying shame and it's a sin

To be out in the cold again

To be out in the cold again



Travelled up and down, up and down, up and down

Just to end up nowhere, end up nowhere

In the final round I found

Many people did care



And then they welcome me back home

Right back into the fold

But I'm still out, still out here on a limb

I'm on the outside just looking in

Out in the cold again

Out in the cold again

Out in the cold again



In between the times where it feels alright

To the cold black night

In between the times where it feels alright

To the dead of the cold black night

In between the dusk and the dawn

And the cold black night

Trying not to get too uptight

Trying not to show the strain

Having to hide my pain



In between the times where it feels a little bit right

In the day, in the cold black night

In the early morning dawn
