Stranger

When I left home
I didn’t mean to leave you all on your own
But even in a large crowd of people
I can’t help but feel all alone
So I deleted your number on purpose
I figured you didn’t want me to call
And over time, on the surface
I can act like I feel nothing at all
I’m sorry that I ran but I got scared
And when you needed me I know I wasn’t there
I wasn’t gonna let myself hold you down
And you don’t need a man like me around
You say you know who I am
But I don’t think that you can
I am a stranger
In a place that I once called home
I am a stranger
And I’m not welcome anymore
To my old neighborhood
Where I think I was always misunderstood
I tried so hard to get along
I swear I tried as hard as I could
But I just felt like I couldn’t breathe
And it’s old and it is still haunting me
There was something that I didn’t see
That all along, you had something that I need
I’m sorry that I ran but I got scared
And when you needed me I know I wasn’t there
I wasn’t gonna let myself hold you down
And you don’t need a man like me around
You say you know who I am
I don’t think that you can
I am a stranger
In a place that I once called home
I am a stranger
And I’m not welcome anymore
And I’m not welcome anymore
And I’m not welcome anymore
And I’m not welcome
I’m sorry that I ran but I got scared
And when you needed me I know I wasn’t there
I wasn’t gonna let myself hold you down
And you don’t need a man like me around
You say you know who I am
But I don’t think that you can
I am a stranger
In a place that I once called home
I am a stranger
And I’m not welcome anymore
And I’m not welcome anymore
And I’m not welcome
