Stranger to Myself Lyrics by Peter Blegvad

King Strut and Other Stories

1990

There are words I'm scared to use
In conversation
Favourite books I dare not
Take down from the shelf
Songs I cannot hear without
A sense of desolation
'cause you left me a stranger to myself
You guys can try, but till she dies
Nothing can change her
She's hazardous to happiness and health
God forbid that like I did
You love that element of danger
'cause she'll leave you a stranger to yourself
I've had to reconstruct myself from scratch
I gave myself to you intact
But you gave twisted wreckage back
I try to hide my grief from my relations
They say "come on, Pete, drink up
You don't look well."
I can't remember how to act in those
Familiar situations
'cause you left me a stranger to myself
I'm getting stranger and stranger to myself
