As they pass mFe by, pass mCe by
EmDon't kFnow Amif GI can Emkeep these Fhopes up

AmI'm not such a stranger in Fmy own skin
CTo a place I can call Fhome
‘Cause Amit feels like I'm Gstuck on the
Foutside 
Just staring in  
You always wanted to be around me 
But I swore that it will never be this hard
 Never be this hard To be myself, so
  I'll run away from this place where
 I'm not such a stranger in my own skin To a place I can call home '

I'm stuck on the outside
 Just staring in 
CAnd I'll change to Fknow this                      Am
The only thoughts of you

CBut it's Ftoo late!  'Cause we're never strangers in our escape
 We'll shout it out to the very end 
We're far away from that place 
And no turning back for anything
