letra de stranger to myself - peyton marie

[verse 1]
i don’t know what i’m doing
i’m at war with myself and i’m losing
trapped inside my own head
i should’ve listened to my heart instead
i miss when i didn’t care what others thought
i didn’t know growing up meant getting lost
i’m surrounded by bodies
yet it’s like no one truly knows me

[chorus]
i don’t even know myself that well
i feel like a stranger to myself

[verse 2]
it’s toxic trying to reach perfection
and ignore what i see in my reflection
just want to be someone else
the only one i can’t impress is myself
the walls are closing in on me
i can’t breathe
the world inside my phone screen
yet i feel so lonely

[chorus]
but in a world where s-x sells
i feel like a stranger to myself
[interlude: spoken word]
in all our despair
life isn’t fair
but it would be nice to know that someone’s there
i just wish i was more prepared
to grow up in society’s glare
all my flaws, i’m well aware
am i really me
or is this just who i was taught to be
maybe we put ourselves in this situation
maybe being human is more of a disease than a condition
self-hatred passed down through generations
and raised by society’s suffocation
i just wanna tell the girl with tears on her cheeks and the boy on the football team
the singer whose song turned into a scream, the athlete who’s trying so hard to be seen
the boy who always disagrees, the valedictorian whose life isn’t what it seems
the dancer whose measurements don’t match the rest of the teams, the g-y kid who wears their heart on their sleeve
the girl lost in her daydreams and the boy who’s throwing up in the bathroom as i speak
that in order to be yourself you can’t try to be someone else
that you don’t need to fit the mold society’s trying to force you in
maybe if we had looked out for each other our minds wouldn’t be in danger
maybe then i wouldn’t feel like a stranger
