Strangers Lyrics

It's not fair that I'm built this way,
I'm gripping onto fiction in fear,
I'm holding on so tight I don't lose control,
It's filling up my head,
But it's just the lies that my brain has tried to emplace and I can't take much more.
Don't lie to me,
I can't take this overwhelming pressure,
I cannot breathe, why is it so hard?
I wanna leave I just wanna run,
But I'll never know,
I'll never know just what storm I can weather,
I'll never be what I could become,
This isn't me,
This is not what I was born to be.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
Always get in my own way,
I just compromise all the ways I've tried to be sane and I just have to find a way to win,
But I'll never know,
I'll never know just what I can endeavor,
I'll never be stronger on my own,
My family you never were my enemy.
I can see all the ways,
You were there lifting me,
All your love, all your praise,
Lives with me through all my days.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
When I'm alone inside my head,
When I'm crying out but no one hears me,
I try to speak but the words they won't come out.
Oh dear gods, can I win this time?
I won't surrender myself to your limitations of what I'm meant to be.This is my time, I'm gonna do what's right.
If this is all the choice I'm given then so?
I won't do this on my own.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
I thought for a moment I might have it all worked out,
Might have a chance to save this,
When all u have is the real pain of what it's like to just be me.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
Somehow I made it through the haze,
And figured out who I'm supposed to be,
The clouds, the storm is passing now,
And so the pain becomes a memory.
These strangers are only strangers in my head,
They're family and some of the best friends I have had.
