Billy Squier - STRANGER TO MYSELF lyrics

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
