Insider
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
[Verse 1]
You've got a dangerous background
And everything you've dreamed of
Yeah, you're the dark angel
It don't show when you break up

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And 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

[Verse 2]
It's a circle of deception
It's a hall of strangers
It's a cage without a key
You can feel the danger
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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'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

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And 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]
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
