stranger than your sympathy
this is my apology
i'm killing myself from the inside out
and all my fears have pushed you out

i wished for things that i don't need
all i wanted
and what i chase won't set me free
all i wanted
and i get scared but I'm not crawling on my knees

everything's all wrong
everything's all wrong
where the hell did i think i was

stranger than your sympathy
i take these things so i don't feel
i'm killing myself from the inside out
now my head's been filled with doubt

it's hard to lead the life you choose
all i wanted
when all your luck's run out on you
all i wanted
you can't see when all your dreams are coming true

it's easy to forget
you choke on the regrets
who the hell did i think i was

stranger than your sympathy
all these thoughts you stole from me
i'm not sure where i belong
nowhere's Home and i'm all wrong

and i wasn't all the things
i tried to make believe i was
and i wouldn't be the one to kneel
before the Dreams i wanted
and all the talk and all the lies
were all the empty things disguised as me

stranger than your sympathy--
stranger than your sympathy



sympathy, goo goo dolls
