I used to know the man I’d see
In reflections looking back at me
But now the eyes, they look so hollow
Like someone lost, with no tomorrow
The walls don’t talk, the phones don’t ring
Took my babies, my everything
Left me with this ankle chain
And memories stitched through with pain
I’m a stranger to my name
Wearing guilt I never claimed
Every photo frame’s a scar
Of the man I thought I was, but now feels far
I reach for what I had, but it’s not the same
I’m just a stranger to my name
I walk in circles, count the steps
Like it’ll bring back what I’ve left
But freedom don’t mean open doors
When your soul sleeps on the floor
People whisper what they think they know
But they don’t see what I don’t show
I’m not a monster, I’m not clean
I’m just stuck somewhere in between
I’m a stranger to my name
In a life that’s drenched in blame
I used to sing my kids to sleep
Now silence is the only song I keep
I reach for what I had, but it’s not the same
I’m just a stranger to my name
They took my truth, then gave me shame
Now even I forget my name...
I’m a stranger to my name
To the love I’ll never reclaim
To the man I used to trust
Now he’s buried under lies and dust
If I could rewrite it all, I’d erase the flame
But all that’s left...
is a stranger to my name
Who am I now...?
