I Am My Own Stranger

Verse 1
I saw a man across the street
Fiercely staring back at me
He wears the same clothes just like mine
But his mouth, it doesn't smile

Like a mirror does what I do
This man, again, across the room
He's the real thing of what I fake
A walking truth and myself's mate

Chorus
I am my own stranger
I am my own stranger
I don't know myself
It's not nice to meet myself

Verse 2
I broke my hand, his hand did too
I faked my smile, he frowned so true
Yeah, maybe I'm the hypocrite
I don't know what to do about it

I have an issue of the heart
The politics of true self's mark
Don't let me eat my humanity
So, I'd burn bright like I used to be

Bridge
Why find fault and why do wrong?
It's in our blood
It's in this song
Lie is easier to tell
It's easier to fall apart

I know I can be difficult
But it's not what I used to be
Forgive me for whatever's not true
Let the stranger in me know You

Ending
I am my own stranger
A sail on the sea, let it be
I belong where I don't wanna be
Yeah, let me sail so free
