Lyrics Stranger To Myself - Billy Squier

Stranger To Myself

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 to myself
Never thought I’d ever cry
Never thought we’d ever be denied
Stranger to myself…
Why… are my thoughts so uncertain
Will I ever unwind… this damage I’ve done
Love--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 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
