The Stranger
Look in the mirror and what do I see
No one I know looking at me
I was me just the other day
Now who I am , I just can’t say
I had to become someone new
This brand new heart ain’t been used
When did it start, when she left me
Now who I am, I just can’t see
She left me cold, standin’ alone
But I won’t cry and I won't moan
It’s another day dawnin’ , brand new
Now who I am , I ain’t gotta clue
A shiny , new attitude and whole , fresh heart
It’s the only way to make a fresh start
