Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stranger than your sympathy

And this is my apology

Been killing myself from the inside out

And all my fears have pushed you out

[Verse 2]

And I wished for things that I don't need

All I wanted

And what I chase won't set me free

It's all I wanted

And I get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

[Verse 3]

Oh, yeah everything's all wrong, yeah

Everything's all wrong, yeah

Where the hell did I think I was ?

[Verse 4]

And stranger than your sympathy

I take these things so I don't feel

I'm killing myself from the inside out

And now my head's been filled with doubt

[Verse 5]

It's hard to lead the life you choose

All I wanted

When all your luck's run out on you

All I wanted

And you can't see when all your dreams

Are coming true

[Verse 6]

Oh, yeah It's easy to forget, yeah

And you choke on the regrets, yeah

Who the hell did I think I was?

[Verse 7]

Stranger than your sympathy

All these thoughts you stole from me

I'm not sure where I belong

Nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

[Verse 8]

And I wasn't all the things

I tried to make believe I was

And I wouldn't be the one to kneel

Before the dreams I wanted

And all the talk and all the lies

Were all the empty things disguised as me

Yeah

[Verse 9]

Stranger than your sympathy

Stranger than your sympathy

Mmm, mmm
