In crowded rooms, I feel alone
Voices echo, mind of stone
Every word a heavy load
Walking paths I've never known
Hiding in the shadows, mask on tight
Pretending I belong in the light
I'm a stranger in my skin
Fighting battles I can't win
Every step feels out of place
Trying to keep up with the race
Silent screams and whispered fears
Hopes and dreams, but no one hears
Inside my head, a restless storm
Trying to conform, to be the norm
Hiding in the shadows, mask on tight
Pretending I belong in the light
I'm a stranger in my skin
Fighting battles I can't win
Every step feels out of place
Trying to keep up with the race
Behind the smile, there's a fragile heart
Afraid to show the broken parts
Searching for a place to be
Where I can finally feel free
I'm a stranger in my skin
Fighting battles I can't win
Every step feels out of place
Trying to keep up with the race
In a world that doesn't see
The hidden pain inside of me
I'll keep searching for a way
To find the strength to face each day
