G                          Em
I went out looking for the answers,
                   C
and never left my town
                      G
I'm no good at understanding,
                           D
but I'm good at standing ground

And when I asked a corner preacher,
I couldn't hear him for my youth
Some people get religion,
some people get the truth

                  C                      G
I never get the truth, I never get the truth

Chorus:
Bm                            C
I know the darkness pulls on you,
                          G
but it's just a point of view
                            D
When you're outside looking in,
                     Em
you belong to someone
                              C
And when you feel like giving in,
                      A  
or the coming of the end
                                 C
Like your heart could break in two,
               G
someone loves you

I lay this suitcase on my chest,
so I can feel somebody's weight
And I lay you to rest just
to feel a give and take?

I got a new interpretation
and it's a better point of view
You were looking for a landslide,
I was looking out for you

I was looking out for you,
someone's looking out for you

Chorus:
I know the darkness pulls on you
and it's just a point of view
When you're outside looking in,
you belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in
and the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two,
someone loves you

I am afraid of crossing lines,
I am afraid of flying blind
Afraid of inquiring minds,
afraid of being left behind

I close my eyes, I think of you,
I take a step, I think of you
I catch my breath, I think of you,
I cannot rest, I think of you

Chorus:
My one and only wrecking ball
and you're crashing through my walls
When you're outside looking in,
you belong to someone
And when you feel like giving in
and the coming of the end
Like your heart could break in two,
someone loves you
