Stranger than your sympathy 

And this is my apology 

I killed myself from the inside out 

And all my fears have pushed you out 



And I wished for things that I don't need 

(all I wanted) 

And what I chased won't set me free 

(all I wanted) 

And I get scared but I'm not crawlin' on my knees 



Oh, yeah 

Everything's all wrong, yeah 

Everything's all wrong, yeah 

Where the hell did I think I was? 



And stranger than your sympathy 

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 



We're taught to lead the life you choose 

(all I wanted) 

You know your love's run out on you 

(all I wanted) 

And you can't see when all your dreams aren't coming true 



Oh, yeah 

It's easy to forget, yeah 

When you choke on the regrets, yeah 

Who the hell did I think I was? 



And stranger than your sympathy 

And all these thoughts you stole from me 

And I'm not sure where I belong 

And no where's home and no more wrong 



And I was in love with things I tried to make you believe I was 

And I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted 

And all the dark and all the lies were all the empty things disguised as me 



Mmm, yeah 

Stranger than your sympathy 

Stranger than your sympathy 

Mmm hmmm mmm
