Cover art for The Outside lyrics by Red

surprised no one has commented on this yet. I think it goes with friendship alittle because this album talks about our identity. Let me explain what it means to me. reminds me of what's happening in my life right now

What if I'm not the same What if I never let go of the blame What if you drag me back again What if I would let you just pretend

I'm not the same with My friend, what if I'm to blame because I was friends with her and kept going on back to her and she pretended our friendship.

I erase this memory I escape this gravity Is that how I used to be Is that the price of my identity

I'm erasing the memories we had, I'm escaping her pull. Yes i used to be like always being next to her and was that my identity? Yes it was being next to her and her problems

I'm standing on the outside I'm looking in on what you can't hide Your dying on the inside Because now I can see the lies from the outside

I'm not on her inside anymore (probably never been). I know the secrets she hides on the insides. One thing she hides is her innocents and I know she is dying without me and I see her lies and ways from the outside.

What if I stand ashamed What if I can't let go of the pain What if I have something to lose What if I've got nothing left to prove

I replace this life you stole I replace the world I know What if you were always wrong And if I said I knew it all along

She stole my life and I'm slowly replacing it back. She controlled my world and I'm fixing it What if she was wrong? she was about everything, since day 1 and I knew it all but I didn't believe it.

I'm standing on the outside I'm looking in on what you can't hide Your dying on the inside Because now I can see the lies from the outside

same as above

I'm not you I will never be you I won't let you pull me through

she tried to get me to be like her but I can and never be like her and I won't let her pull me through.

I'm standing on the outside I'm looking in on what you can't hide Your dying on the inside Because now I can see the lies from the outside

same as above

I'm standing on the outside I'm looking in on what you can't hide Your dying on the inside Because now I can see the lies from the outside

same as above

If I'm wrong correct me but this is what i thought of the song.

My Interpretation

I completely feel the pain you've received from you friend. What started out as something magical ended in bitter ashes. It's probably extremely frustrating when you feel one way about her and she tells you all these things that make you believe the feeling is mutual but her actions never corroborate anything she tells you. Empty scathing lies that in hindsight hurt even more. It almost makes you feel like a tool to a point and no matter how much you want to burn these bridges the part of you that loves her won't allow you to because the kinder...
