(Kellie Coffey with Lonestar's Richie McDonald)



From the outside looking in

I see two lovers on the boardwalk

On the first warm day of spring holding hands

But when I look again

There is something missing from this picture

That I don't understand

From the outside looking in everybody sees

A couple so in love, yeah that's you and me.



But from the inside looking out

Everything is different baby

And I can't figure out

If you can even see it maybe

You still believe what everybody sees

From the outside looking in



Nothing's new; I had a good day

Love you too. that's what we talk about

We just settle in

Here inside my head this voice is screaming

But no words are coming out

From the outside looking in you're close enough to touch

I'm sitting right beside you, baby, missing you so much



From the inside looking out

I'm watching our love slip away

And I can't figure out

How to reach you. what to say

Oh it's killing me

What nobody sees

From the outside looking in



You know I really love you

I wish that you could see

Love ain't just a habit, baby

This isn't how it has to be



'Cause from the inside looking out

We've still got a lot worth saving

Let's find each other now

Before we throw it all away

Oh, I still believe we can go back again

Be the lovers we see

From the outside looking in
