Verse 1:
I look in the mirror, who’s staring back at me?
A shadow of a person, I never thought I’d be.
A heart once so pure, now weighed down by shame,
Every smile I wear, feels like a mask of blame.
Chorus:
I’m becoming a stranger, lost in my own skin,
Fighting with the memories of the places I’ve been.
A ghost of my childhood, where laughter used to reign,
Now I’m trapped in the silence, drowning in this pain.
Verse 2:
Thought I was invincible, but now I can see,
The walls that I’ve built are closing in on me.
The choices I made, they echo through the night,
With every step I take, I’m losing my own fight.
Chorus:
I’m becoming a stranger, lost in my own skin,
Fighting with the memories of the places I’ve been.
A ghost of my childhood, where laughter used to reign,
Now I’m trapped in the silence, drowning in this pain.
Bridge:
Oh, what happened to the dreams, the fire in my soul?
Now it’s flickering softly, losing all control.
I reach for the light, but it keeps slipping away,
Can I find my way back? Will I see another day?
Chorus:
I’m becoming a stranger, lost in my own skin,
Fighting with the memories of the places I’ve been.
A ghost of my childhood, where laughter used to reign,
Now I’m trapped in the silence, drowning in this pain.
Outro:
So here’s to the reckoning, to the choices I’ll face,
For every step backwards, I’ll strive to find my place.
I won’t let this stranger take over my heart,
I’ll rise from the ashes, and make a brand new start.
