(Verse 1)
I wake up in a world that never speaks my name,
Faces all around me, but they don’t feel the same.
I laugh when I’m breaking, I smile when I bleed,
Chasing for a purpose in a world I never lead.
They talk about the light, but I only see the haze,
Lost inside my mind, trapped in my own maze.
I reach for a reason, but it slips right through my hand,
Like writing on the water — I can’t understand.
---
(Pre-Chorus)
And I try to be the person that they all want me to be,
But the mirror just keeps showing someone I don’t wanna see.
---
(Chorus)
I’m a stranger in my skin,
Don’t know where I begin.
I’m fading in the crowd,
But screaming deep within.
No one sees the war I fight,
Every day and every night —
I’m just trying to find my light
In a world that dimmed it out.
---
(Verse 2)
They say time heals pain, but mine just learned to hide,
I wear it like a jacket, zipped up tight inside.
I’m tired of pretending, tired of this show,
But if I take the mask off, will anyone still know?
I tried to fit their mold, but it cracked under my heart,
Now I’m picking up the pieces, don’t know where to start.
Maybe I’m just broken, or maybe I’m just me,
But what if who I am is someone I can’t be?
---
(Chorus)
I’m a stranger in my skin,
Don’t know where I begin.
I’m fading in the crowd,
But screaming deep within.
No one sees the war I fight,
Every day and every night —
I’m just trying to find my light
In a world that dimmed it out.
---
(Bridge)
If I disappear, would anybody notice?
If I fall apart, would anyone be honest?
They say I’m fine, but I’m falling through the floor,
I don’t know myself anymore...
---
(Final Chorus)
I’m a stranger in my skin,
Still searching where I fit in.
The world feels cold and loud,
But I’ll keep standing proud.
No one sees the war I fight,
Every day and every night —
Still I’ll try to find my light
Till I finally let it out.
