One year later I saw her
Wearing her face in a strange disguise
Carries a smile that they taught her
Gives it away at the edge of her eyes
And didn't I see the sunshine through the rain before

She's crying and she knows it
She's crying and she knows it
On the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because
It's cold out here

Sooner or later she told me
I am in love again truly this time
Nothing at home left to hold me
The city's just great and the world treats me fine
But didn't she think I'd heard that old refrain before

She's lying and she knows it
She's lying and she knows it
On the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because
It's cold out here
Som many men have deceived her
And others will come and she'll take what she can
She hides all the hurt as they leave her
She takes everything that her system can stand
And didn't she think I'd seen someone in pain before

She's dying and she knows it
She's dying and she knows it
On the outside now
Whatever happened to the girl that was
Did she go inside because
It's cold out here
