Insider Lyrics - Hard Promises - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

You've got a dangerous background 

And everything you've dreamed of 

Yeah, you're the Dark Angel 

It don't show when you break up 

And I'm the one who oughta know 

Yeah, I'm the one left in the dust 

Oh, I'm the broken-hearted fool 

Who was never quite enough 

I'm an insider 

I been burned by the fire 

Oh, and I've had to live 

With some hard promises 

I've crawled through the briars 

I'm an insider

It's a circle of deception 

It's a hall of strangers 

It's a cage without a key 

You can feel the danger 

And I'm the one who oughta know 

Yeah, I'm the one you couldn't trust 

Oh, I'm the lonely, silent one 

I'm the one left in the dust 

I'm an insider 

I been burned by the fire 

Yeah, and I've had to live 

With some hard promises 

I've crawled through the briars 

I'm an insider 

Well, I'll bet you're his masterpiece 

I'll bet you're his self-control 

Yeah, you'll become his legacy 

His quiet world of white and gold 

And I'm the one who oughta know 

Yeah, I'm the one you left to rust 

Not one of your twisted friends 

I'm the one you couldn't love 

I'm an insider 

I been burned by the fire 

Oh, and I've had to live 

With some hard promises 

I've crawled through the briars 

I'm an insider 

I'm an insider
