Careful now
Keep treading water till I drown
After all, I hate to say it but it's all my fault cause I used to be braver
Now I'm trying to find the will to survive all these anchors
They're pulling me down, pulling me

I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down, again
Maybe I should explain first
Let's start it over let's begin
If only they could hear me when
It's white noise when my voice is calling out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down

I tried to be somebody else but that's not me
I'm better off just who I am
But without you I'm dying
I used to be braver
Now I'm trying to find the lion inside of this stranger

I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down, again
Maybe I should explain first
Let's start it over let's begin
If only they could hear me when
It's white noise when my voice is calling out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down

There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
I wanna let it out
But it wasn't my choice, 
I tried to avoid every urge to destroy the thoughts were drowning out
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
There's white noise, there's white noise, in my voice
I wanna let it out

I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down, again
Maybe I should explain first
Let's start it over let's begin
If only they could hear me when
It's white noise when my voice is calling out
I don't wanna be a stranger
Cause I don't wanna let you down
