Billy Squier Lyrics
"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, 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
