Insider

You've got a dangerous backgroundAnd everything you've dreamed ofYeah you're the Dark AngelIt don't show when you break upAnd I'm the one who oughta knowI'm the one left in the dustYeah I'm the broken hearted foolWho was never quite enoughChorusI'm an insider, I been burned by the fireAnd I've had to live with some hard promisesI've crawled through the briars -- I'm an insiderIt's a circle of deceptionIt's a hall of strangersIt's a cage without a keyYou can feel the dangerAnd I'm the one who oughta knowI'm the one you couldn't trustYeah I'm the lonely silent oneI'm the one left in the dust(Repeat Chorus)I'll bet you're his masterpieceI'll bet you're his self-controlYeah you'll become his legacyHis quiet world of white and goldAnd I'm the one who oughta knowI'm the one you left to rustNot one of your twisted friendsI'm the one you couldn't love(Repeat Chorus)
