Stranger To Myself - Billy Squier

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
