Hello Mixters, it’s been awhile since I uploaded. My best friend recently freed herself from an abusive relationship. It was hard to watch her suffer. Wrote a song to help me process her situation and figure out how best to support.

Outside In
Verse I:
From the outside in, you seem so sweet you seem to pure
You’ve got everybody fooled, including me

From the inside out, you break me down every day
with thoughtless words and hits so cruel

Bridge:
Everything in me says to walk away, get far away
But where am I supposed to go

Everyone that I know says walk away, go far away
But it’s easier to stay than go

Chorus:
For with your words you tear my soul, with your love you control
You strip me down to the bone, you clip my wings, you wear me down
‘Cause otherwise I’d walk out that door, to my dream to something more
But here I am, down on my knees, I’m begging you please.

Verse II:
From the inside out, I scream and shout, let me out
Scared out of my mind and filled with doubt

From the outside in, it’s all smoke and mirrors and silent tears
All my dreams are gone, I’m left without

Bridge:
Chorus:

Verse III (Outro)
From the outside in, I seem so loved, I seem so sure.
I’ve got everybody fooled, including me
