For anyone who takes the time to look at themselves and re-assess
lyrics
I'm on the outside looking in
I see the hand that I was dealt
All the mistakes that I have made
The little things that can't be helped
How many chances do you get
Before you're all out of cards
You'd better pray you don't forget
You'd better wear it like a scar
Yeah, and when you can't move on
And your groove's all wrong
Well, if the wind's just too strong
You've got to sing a little song
Yeah and it won't take long before it's gone
Just like a dream that you forget
One that you were squinting at too hard
The game is played, the score is set
But it still ain't written in the stars
What was the price I had to pay
While I was sitting on the shelf
I'm coming up on yesterday
Here I am all by myself
Yes, and when you can't move on
And your groove's all wrong
Well, if the wind's just too strong
You've got to sing a little song
Yeah and it won't take long before it's gone
What was the price I had to pay
While I was sitting on the shelf, yeah
I'm coming up on yesterday
But I'm no longer by myself
