  • Stranger than your sympathy
    And this is my apology
    I'm killing myself from the inside out
    And all my fears have pushed you out

    And I wish 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

    Oh and yeah, everything's all wrong and yeah
    Everything's all wrong and yeah
    Where the hell did I think I was?

    I'm 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

    And 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

    Oh yeah, it's easy to forget and yeah
    And you choke on the regrets, yeah
    Who the hell did I think I was?

    I'm stranger than your sympathy
    And all these thoughts you stole from me
    And I'm not sure where I belong
    And nowhere's home and I'm all wrong

    And I was in love with 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

    Mmm, yeah
    Stranger than your sympathy
    Stranger than your sympathy
    Mmhm, mmm, hmm Writer/s: John Rzeznik
