Your body's wearing thin
Your hearts hanging by a string
You thought you'd take a leap
Off of the ledge
Now your clinging to the edge
Only by a thread
And everything you thought you are
Feels different than before
Can't seem to figure out what's changed
I'm a stranger to myself
Thought that was unlikely
Thought I'd always understand me
But then again I've never been understanding
Just a little demanding
Expecting too much of myself
Trying to compare myself
to everybody else
Look at the mess your in
Look at where you've been
Yeah let's go to hell and back
You need help
But asking was something you lacked
Now looking back,
I should have had some trust
In the ones, I loved
Instead, I thought I could deal
with everything
on my own
Only to end up all alone
Can't seem to figure out what's changed
I'm a stranger to myself
Thought that was unlikely
Thought I'd always understand me
But then again I've never been understanding
Just a little demanding
Expecting too much of myself
Trying to compare myself
to everybody else
Oh my own mind is my cell
All these thoughts are my hell
And now your losing yourself
Following the trends of everybody else
Just be who you are
Be who you wanna be
Don't be somebody else
Don't sacrifice your originality
Just take a moment to see
You were created perfectly
Down to every fault and flaw
Down to every mistake you made
Because they made you who you are today
Can't seem to figure out what's changed
I'm a stranger to myself
Thought that was unlikely
Thought I'd always understand me
But then again I've never been understanding
Just a little demanding
Expecting too much of myself
Trying to compare myself
to everybody else
