And everything you've dreamed of
Yeah, you're the dark angel
It don't show when you break up
And I'm the one who oughta know
I'm the one left in the dust
Yeah, I'm the broken-hearted fool
Who was never quite enough
{Chorus}:
I'm an insider
I been burned by the fire
And I've had to live with
Some hard promises
I've crawled through the briars
I'm an insider
It's a circle of deception
It's a hall of strangers
It's a cage without the key
You can feel the danger
And I'm the one who oughta know
I'm the one you couldn't trust
I'm the lonely, silent one
I'm the one left in the dust
{Chorus}
I'll bet you're his masterpiece
I'll bet you're his self-control
Yeah, you'll become his legacy
His quiet world of white and gold
And I'm the one who oughta know
I'm the one you left to rust
Not one of your twisted friends
I'm the one you couldn't love
{Chorus}
You've got a dangerous background And everything you've dreamed of Yeah, you're the dark angel It don't show when you break up And I'm the one who oughta know I'm the one left in the dust Yeah, I'm the broken-hearted fool Who was never quite enough {Chorus}: I'm an insider I been burned by the fire And I've had to live with Some hard promises I've crawled through the briars I'm an insider It's a circle of deception It's a hall of strangers It's a cage without the key You can feel the danger And I'm the one who oughta know I'm the one you couldn't trust I'm the lonely, silent one I'm the one left in the dust {Chorus} I'll bet you're his masterpiece I'll bet you're his self-control Yeah, you'll become his legacy His quiet world of white and gold And I'm the one who oughta know I'm the one you left to rust Not one of your twisted friends I'm the one you couldn't love {Chorus} Explain Request ×
