Wanna Be a Stranger Lyrics
Don't wanna walk away but
I'm tired of acting in anger
Too tired to even try and
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
And I didn't drown the pain now
I just wanna be stranger
No I need a place to hide
Tell her that I'm in danger
Maybe in another time
I could have been a stranger
Now I've been running all my life
I could have been a master of disguise
I'm looking forward to another geographic change
Standing at the station waiting for the rain
So no my heart didn't break
It tore in two like paper
And not even shadows can hide
Only eyes of a stranger
Eyes of a stranger
I'm tired of acting in anger
Too tired to even try and
I just wanna be a stranger
She said ask me later
Didn't even say goodbye now
I just wanna be a stranger
My whiskey straight, no chaser
And I didn't drown the pain now
I just wanna be stranger
Tell her that I'm in danger
Maybe in another time
I could have been a stranger
I could have been a master of disguise
Standing at the station waiting for the rain
So no my heart didn't break
It tore in two like paper
And not even shadows can hide
Only eyes of a stranger
Eyes of a stranger
