MusicMonday

Welcome once again to Music Monday where I offer you all a song that I really like. If anyone wants to join in then please feel free to have a go! 🙂

Staind: Outside (acoustic).

And you can bring me to my knees
And all this time that I could beg you please
And all the times that I felt insecure for you
And I leave my burdens at the door

But I’m on the outside, I’m looking in
I can see through you, see your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly, you’re ugly like me
I can see through you, see to the real you

All this time that I felt like this won’t end
It was for you and I taste what I could never have it’s from you
All those times that I tried my intentions were full of pride
And I waste more time than anyone

But I’m on the outside and I’m looking in
I can see through you, see your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly, you’re ugly like me
I can see through you, see to the real you

All the times that I’ve cried, all this wasted it’s all inside
And I feel all this pain stuffed it down it’s back again
And I lie here in bed all alone I can’t mend
But I feel tomorrow will be okay

But I’m on the outside and I’m looking in
I can see through you, see your true colors
‘Cause inside you’re ugly, you’re ugly like me
I can see through you, see to the real you


Taken from the album: Break The Cycle (2001).

  1. So weird, I set my post up with this song for today, then at the last minute changed my mind to something else! This is a cracking song! I don’t think I will ever get bored with it.

  2. 😲 I’m absolutely freaked out right now. I am floored. Seeing Claires comment and the fact that your post is this song is unbelievable because I was singing this song last night at the drive in and had every intention of using this for Music Monday today. Somehow the three of us were mentally connected on this. I can’t believe it. Anyhow, great choice!

  3. Oh I fell in love with Staind when I saw them live (years ago). Aaron Lewis has some serious talent. And this song is just stunning.. I remember they played the acoustic version at the Blitz Bash and it was pouring rain and just perfect!
