Don't wanna walk away but
I'm tired of acting in anger
Too tired to even try
I just wanna be a stranger
Asked my baby did she love me
She said: Ask me later
Didn't even say goodbye now
I just wanna be a stranger

When I was young I'd drink
My whiskey straight, no chaser
That didn't drown the pain
Now, I just wanna be a stranger
I need a place to hide
Until I do, I'm in danger
Maybe in another time, I
I could've been a stranger

Now I've been running all my life
I could've been a master of disguise

Looking for another geographic change
Standing at the station waiting for the rain

So no more, my heart didn't break
It tore in two like paper
Not even shadows can hide
Only eyes of a stranger, oh
Eyes of a stranger, oh
