Lookin’ for some validation
Like everyone else, everyone else
Goin’ through a transformation
Losin’ myself, losin’ myself
I tried to make the pieces fit
When I knew it wasn't me
On the outside looking in
And now I can see

There's a stranger in the mirror
Looking back at me now
The illusions getting clearer
Lost and I cannot be found
I don't recognize my face
I'm just so out of place
Who have I become
There's a stranger in the mirror
Oh I’ve gotta find a way out

I gave off the wrong impression
Somebody else, somebody else
I know I’ve made some bad decisions
And now the regret is all i have left
Am I afraid of who I am?
Can I be satisfied?
If there's a way to take it back
Who will I find?

There's a stranger in the mirror
Looking back at me now
The illusions getting clearer
Lost and I cannot be found
I don't recognize my face
I'm just so out of place
Who have I become
There's a stranger in the mirror
Oh I’ve gotta find a way out

Stop runnin’, runnin’
Stop runnin’, runnin’
Stop runnin’, runnin’
Stop runnin’ away from me

There's a stranger in the mirror
I forgot who I once was
There's a stranger in the mirror
And I can't be something I know that I'm not!
