Outside of Pride (Remix)

(Outside of Pride) (Outside of Pride) They paint the streets in rainbow light They sing that love will win tonight But I have stood there on my own A stranger in a place called home They say come in, you’re safe, you’re seen But silence cuts behind the scene A smile can shine, a look can hide The coldest doors beneath the pride I wanted to belong somewhere To find a hand, to feel some care But every time I reached inside I lost another part of pride Outside of Pride That’s where I’ve been Watching love from the edge again They wave the flags They open wide But some of us are left outside Outside of Pride Still standing here With twenty years of swallowed tears Don’t call it love If hearts divide Some of us are outside Pride (Outside of Pride) (Outside of Pride) (Still got a heart) (Still got a light) Twenty years of walking past The kind of joy I couldn’t grasp On Grindr, Romeo, screens go black One word, one block — no turning back Too old, too soft, not built just right Too much, too plain, not worth one night And every year the colors rise While I fade further from their eyes I wanted to belong somewhere To find a hand, to feel some care But every time I reached inside I lost another part of pride Outside of Pride That’s where I’ve been Watching love from the edge again They wave the flags They open wide But some of us are left outside Outside of Pride Still standing here With twenty years of swallowed tears Don’t call it love If hearts divide Some of us are outside Pride (Outside of Pride) (Outside of Pride) (Still got a heart) (Still got a light) I’m not against the colors glow I know what they are meant to show But if love leaves wounded hearts behind Then Pride has something left to find Outside of Pride That’s where I’ve been Watching love from the edge again They wave the flags They open wide But some of us are left outside Outside of Pride Still standing here With twenty years of swallowed tears Don’t call it love If hearts divide Some of us are outside Pride (Outside of Pride) (Outside of Pride) (Still got a heart) (Still got a light) (Outside of Pride) (Outside of Pride) (Still got a heart) (Still got a light)
