I've spent a lot of time on the outside

And maybe I'm the one to blame but it my eyes

In the game of life, what it feels like

Is you're messing up the pieces and it's not right

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

You seem a little blind

To the issue in hand like you're trying to hide

From the overbearing truth that you're unkind

I would try and sympathise but it wouldn't feel right

So whatever she's done

It doesn't matter to me

I see where she's coming from

Time after time

I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life

But me, I'm nice

So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

Somehow I feel inclined to apologise

For your behaviour and I'm not quite sure why

You've got her self-criticising like some kind of ritual

And it's bringing me down, down, down

And if I'm gonna pick sides, I think I'll stay outside

So whatever she's done

It doesn't matter to me

I see where she's coming from

Time after time

I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life

But me, I'm nice

So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life

You half-hearted kindness only guides us half the way, you're blinded

Tell me off the record, give me a piece of your mind, I'll see it from your side

'Cause where I'm standing it's really not cool just how you're so cruel

Woah, time after time

I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life

But me, I'm nice (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)

Time after time

I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

But me, I'm kind

So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life
