Lyrics
Verse 1
Im standing on the outside, looking at my heart,
Piecing back together what they tore apart.
I drew my lines in stone, said, This is my space,
But they crossed right over with a smile on their face. I wanted to believe their words could make it right,
But a broken plate dont mend in the morning light.
They showed me who they are, I ignored the sign,
Now Im learning the lesson to respect whats mine.
Chorus
Outside looking in, every souls a test,
Some a fleeting lesson, some a lifelong bless.
When they cross your line, dont let em back in,
A sorry to the pieces dont mean they can win.
Learn it the first time, hear what they say,
Respect yourself and walk away.
Verse 2
Theyll tell you with their actions when they dont belong,
When they break your boundaries, its their same old song.
No need for second chances when the truth is clear,
A heart that doesnt honor you was never sincere. Im done with picking shards up from the floor,
Trying to glue together what dont fit no more.
A lessons a warning, its carved in my soul,
A blessings the courage to take back control.
Chorus
Outside looking in, every souls a test,
Some a fleeting lesson, some a lifelong bless.
When they cross your line, dont let em back in,
A sorry to the pieces dont mean they can win.
Learn it the first time, hear what they say,
Respect yourself and walk away.
Bridge
No more chasing shadows, no more bending my truth,
Im building my strength with the fire of my youth.
When they show you theyre not right, dont beg them to stay,
Let the lesson sink deep, and youll find your own way.
Verse 3
Now Im on the outside, with my heart held high,
My boundaries are my shield, my unclouded sky.
Ill cherish the blessings, the ones who respect,
Who honor my lines and the self I protect. Every cracks a lesson, every choice a gain,
Im stronger for the truth Ive earned through the pain.
From the outside looking in, Im finally free,
To love who I am and the strength thats in me.
Chorus
Outside looking in, every souls a test,
Some a fleeting lesson, some a lifelong bless.
When they cross your line, dont let em back in,
A sorry to the pieces dont mean they can win.
Learn it the first time, hear what they say,
Respect yourself and walk away.
Outro
Outside looking in, Im standing my ground,
My hearts not a playground, my worth Ive found.
A lessons a truth, a blessings my fight,
Ill learn it the first time and keep my light bright.
