Dear Stranger

Sweet mother kept me forever
 Alone and safe in a room
 Why would I ask for anything other
 Your world is all that I ever knew
 ♪
 Her hands pulling me closer
 Her eyes all heavy and cold
 Oh-oh
 She said I keep you from danger
 Oh-oh
 I'm your careful protector
 All of these voices are making me nervous
 Follow them outside
 Leaving with nothing
 Under the surface I am a stranger
 What else to become?
 No one else to become
 ♪
 The last time you tell me it's simple
 I keep it in the back of my mind
 Oh-oh
 She said now don't be a stranger
 Oh-oh
 Just keep your head on your shoulders
 All of these voices are making me nervous
 Follow them outside
 Leaving with nothing
 Under the surface I am a stranger
 What else to become?
 No one else to become
