Lookin for some validation

like everyone else, everyone else

Goin through a transformation

losin myself, losin myself

I tried to make the pieces fit

when I knew it wasn't me

On the outside looking in

and now i can see

 

[CHORUS:]

There's a stranger in the mirror

looking back at me now

The illusions getting clearer

lost and I cannot be found

I don't recognize my face

I'm just so out of place

Who have I become

There's a stranger in the mirror

Oh I've gotta find a way out

 

I gave off the wrong impression

somebody else, somebody else

I know I've made some bad decisions

and now the regret is all i have left

Am I afraid of who I am

Can I be satisfied

If there's a way to take it back

who will I find

 

[CHORUS]

 

Stop runnin, runnin

Stop runnin, runnin

Stop runnin, runnin

Stop runnin away from me

 

There's a stranger in the mirror

I forgot who I once was

There's a stranger in the mirror

and I can't be somethin I know that I'm not!
