Outside lyrics

I think he felt extremely insecure in this relationship because she was always playing mind games with him. He tried everything to make it work but nothing he ever did seemed enough for her. He wanted her compassion but she just continued to relate to him in a very disregardful and degrading way. It was as if she gained a huge satisfaction in making him feel needy and desparate for her love. That she wanted to make him feel like he couldn't get what he wanted. "And I tasted what I could never have, it was from you". Leaving the relationship and looking back he can clearly see that all the ugliness of his emotions had alot to do with how she made him feel. One of the main reason he's finding it hard to let go is because it was so abusive to his self esteem, perhaps this was her intention. Cause no matter how hard he tries to get over her, all his pain keeps resurfacing. All her abuses keep pounding in his head and now he's become a bitter man, holding a grudge. Through her, he became an ugly person, she succeeded in making him ugly inside just like her. That now he was exactly like her. Now he no longer wanted her compassion because he no longer feels any for her. His love has died. To him, she is just a truely ugly person right to the core. Someone very damaging, someone that he wants to expose as a love fraud. Someone he wants to hold a mirrow to (which is himself) and say see your ugly just like me. I am you. I am a reflection of what you have done. This is what you see because of what you've done. Karma, what you give you get back.

i think this song is about how someone always brought him down all the time and always hated that so he would do that to other people just so he can get the pain out of him and then when he finally leaves the person who do that to him he see what he turn into he like that person and hes sorry for what ever he did do thoese people

I think it's about a guy that took a lot of shit from a girl he thought he loved, but all she did was verbally abuse him. And when he finally leaves, he can "see her true colors," and she's not originally the way she seems to be; she's really just like him.
