When I left home
I didn't mean to leave you all on your own
but even in a large crowd of people
I could never feel all alone
So I deleted your number [?] this time
figured you didn't want me to call
and over time, on the surface
I can act like I feel nothing at all
I'm sorry that I ran but I got scared
and when you needed me I know I wasn't there
I wasn't gonna let myself hold you down
and you don't need a man like me around
You say you know who I am
but I don't think that you can
I am a stranger
in a place that I once called home
I am a stranger
and I'm not welcome anymore
To my old neighborhood
where I think I was always misunderstood
I tried so hard to get along
I swear I tried as hard as I could
But I just felt like I couldn't breathe
and it's old and it's still haunting me
There was something that I did't see
that all along, you had something that I need
I'm sorry that I ran but I got scared
and when you needed me I know I wasn't there
I wasn't gonna let myself hold you down
and you don't need a man like me around
You say you know who I am
but I don't think that you can
I am a stranger
in a place that I once called home
I am a stranger
and I'm not welcome anymore
and I'm not welcome
