Insider (Tom Petty)

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 and I'm the one who oughta know Im the one left in the dust Yeah I'm the broken hearted fool Who was never quite enough [Chorus:] I'm an insider, I 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 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]
