I don't know where I'm goin'   But what I'm leavin' behind, I already know   Run, the streets have no ending   But what I'm hopin' to find, I just can't ignore   I live to be strong, I want to be king   But I act so unwise, look how foolish I've been   When time after time I try to be me   But I look down inside, it's the stranger I see      Stranger, stranger, stranger to myself   I was born on the other side of life, I'm just a   Stranger, stranger, stranger to myself   Never thought I'd ever cry   Never thought we'd ever be denied      Why are my thoughts so uncertain   Will I ever unwind this damage I've done   It's a fight, it's your life, it's not over   Can you look at me now and show me I'm wrong   For once in my life I want to be good   But I'm playin' the bad boy much more than I should   When time after time I try to explain   Those voices inside, they're callin' out again      Stranger, stranger, stranger to myself   I was born on the other side of life, I'm just a   Stranger, stranger, stranger to myself   Who'd have thought we'd ever hide   Who'd have thought we'd ever be denied      Now don't ask me why, I don't really know   But sure as I'm breathin' I've got to let it go   The eyes of a man see the world of a child   The door it lies open, won't you step inside and see the      Stranger, stranger to myself   I was born on the other side of life, I'm just a   Stranger, stranger to myself   Who's to fall if you won't try   Who's to fall if you won't try, you won't try, you don't wanna try   Stranger to myself
