A very kick ass song by Staind.

And you

Bring me to my knees

Again

All the times

That I could beg you please

In vain

All the times

That I felt insecure

For you

And I leave

My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside

I'm looking in

I can see through you

See your true colors

'Cause inside you're ugly

You're ugly like me

I can see through you

See to the real you

All the times

That I felt like this won't end

It's for you

And I taste

What I could never have

It was from you

All the times

That I've cried

My intentions

Full of pride

But I waste

More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside

And I'm looking in

I can see through you

See your true colors

'Cause inside you're ugly

You're ugly like me

I can see through you

See to the real you

All the times

That I've cried

All this wasted

It's all inside

And I feel

All this pain

Stuffed it down

It's back again

And I lie

Here in bed

All alone

I can't mend

But I feel

Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside

And I'm looking in

I can see through you

See your true colors

'Cause inside you're ugly

You're ugly like me

I can see through you

See to the real you

Um..for the record..

Usually, the Chorus is in its entirty the first time it appears in the lyric, afterwhich it would be simply referred to as "Chorus" in the remainder on the lyric.

I case you would like to know.

And in the case you do not wish to know...well (place relevant politically incorrect slur, saying, vernacular, or verse here)

Have a nice day 🙂

I don't give a rat's fat ass.

I'll be damned if I was going to write out the whole damn song. That's just too much friggin' typing.

I cut and pasted it from a lyrics site. Take your beef up with them.

And for the record, I knew about the "chorus" thing. But please refer to sentence #1.

And here I thought you were giving me a "sympathy top"...

Love Ya Bye!

And here I was looking for an Iraqi weather report.

What a jip. (I said jip, not jap or nip, so leave me alone).

The weather out there today is hot and **** with continued hot and **** in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a pissy weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it's hotter than a snake's ass in a wagon rut. - Adrian Cronauer

That pretty much covers the weather on a daily basis.

MACS(SW) DAMN YOU man! Now I gotta go do some downloading on Limewire, and that always eats up my bandwidth and slows my $hizznit down!

On a lighter note, aint it crappy when you can apply smart assed comments about Viet Nam, and apply 'em to Iraq!

It hasn't been too hot yet really. We have been around or over 100 degrees for over a week now, but I try to spend as much time in the A/C as possible.

Sometimes my time outside is unavoidable... and I just drink lots of water.

AWESOME SONG!!! My favorite band. I've seen them twice and Aaron Lewis is simply amazing live!!!

I have a big ass framed picture of them on the cover of rolling stone that they signed!!

The first time i saw them, The shut out al the lights and brought out a 4x8 piece of plywood. Aaron got on in and we passed him around the crowd while he sang Muddshovel!!! I was fn awesome.

Their first three albums are pretty impressive if looked at colectivly. You can tell they are progression from some pretty dark anger, morfing into some sense of peace.

14 Shades of Grey has some pretty powerful songs. Expecially the one He wrote for the passing to Layne Staley of Alice and chains.

Great band!!

I used to love Staind before they became so darn radio friendly. Dysfunction was an incredible album, and if you can find them, listen to the demos. They're even harder and better. So much so, Fred Durst hesitated to sign them for fear that they were devil worshipers. Thinking things through was one of the best business decisions he's ever made.

Steve,

I thought that at first myself being a huge Staind fan from their first album. Granted ...some bands do "sell out" but I look at it two ways.

1. If by having the opertuinty to air their music, If it helps to reach more people, and allow their music to be heard by more..possibly it could help touch more people. I have been introduced to bands through the radio...and went from there backwards to learn what the band is "really" about

2.. second.... we have to face it.. what is the end means .... the reason we all go to work....MONEY!! I will never damn any band for grabbing a little cash. If being on the radio changes them.. then hey.. it changes them. If it enables them to be sitting on some boat in the carribean drinking beer and living the good life.. GOOD FOR THEM.

The "starving artist" is just another words for "proud dumb ass" as far as i am concerned. Some bands can beat on their chest all they want saying ..yea.. we are underground.. and will always be underground. But the fact is..if i could be smoking cuban cigars and living the good life by having my music on the radio..so be it. just my .02 cents lol

Keith - I totally agree with you. It's just tough watching new, innovative bands release a ridiculous debut album that's like nothing else you've heard as of late, only to mold themselves into everything else you see on tv or hear on the radio. The artists preach about their love and passion for their roots, saying it's all about the music and doing something they truly believe in, yet the dollar bills get in the way of sticking to their word.
