"Outside The Gate" lyrics

"Outside The Gate"

Your love is like a paradise
I'm stuck outside the gate
The opening is ever wide, but
I can't fit through with my bags

I'm simply asking, is it better or worse
To act like I'm worth it until it comes true?
I'm simply asking, does it pass by?
Will loving feel this hard for the rest of my life?

I think I'm broken, mighta got it backwards
When I was programmed, they mighta missed a pattern
'Cause you're here and you're perfect and I want this to happen
But I just feel so lonely and on a different planet

I think I'm broken, oh no
I think I'm broken

Your love is like a cityscape, but
I grew up in gold fields
Your shadow's taking over me, but
I think I like how it feels

I'm simply thinking about my whole life
How I hadn't met myself until that night
I'm simply thinking of all that's passed by
'Cause I've been too scared to live my life

I think I'm broken, mighta got it backwards
When I was programmed, they mighta missed a pattern
'Cause you're here and you're perfect and I want this to happen
But I just feel so lonely and on a different planet

I pulled some strings till I could finally take it
Lived half a lie, I did my share of faking
I can't avoid, it comes out in spaces
It's begging to be found

I think I'm broken, mighta got it backwards
When I was programmed, they mighta missed a pattern
'Cause you're here and you're perfect and I want this to happen
But I just feel so lonely and on a different planet

I think I'm broken, oh no
I think I'm broken, oh no
I think I'm broken, oh no
I think I'm broken, mm
