Billy Squier - STRANGER TO MYSELF lyrics

rate me

Stranger, stranger...

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
