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
