Artist/Band: Tom Petty
Lyrics for Song: Insider
Lyrics for Album: Hard Promises [1981]



You got a dangerous background

And everything you've dreamed of

Yeah you're the Dark Angel

It don't show when you break up



I'm the one who oughta know

I'm the one left in the dust

Yeah I'm the broken hearted fool

Who was never quite enough



(Chorus)

I'm an insider

I've been burned by the fire

And I've had to live with some hard promises

I've crawled through the briars

I'm an insider



It's a circle of deception

It's a hall of strangers

It's a cage without a key

You can feel the danger



And I'm the one who oughta know

I'm the one you couldn't trust

I'm the lonely silent one

I'm the one left in the dust



(Chorus)



I'll bet you're his masterpiece

I'll bet you're his self-control

Yeah you'll become his legacy

His quiet world of white and gold



I'm the one who oughta know

I'm the one you left to rust

Not one of your twisted friends

I'm the one you couldn't love



(Chorus)
