Dierks Bentley - Stranger To Myself Lyrics






Found some old forgotten photographs, yeah
Looking at 'em kinda made me laugh at the
Big hair and the drunk smile
I ain't seen him in quite a while
I been lucky to live two lives
But I wouldn't wanna live that one twice
Yeah the past is best left on the shelf

I was a stranger to myself, before you came along
Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song
You showed me who I am, you handed me the keys
And I unlocked the door to the better part of me

Without your love I'd still be
Someone else, a stranger to myself

Just sitting on the porch with you
Knowing now what I never knew like
How much more the laughter is
When you have someone to share it with
You stretched this heart of mine
A million miles wide
You wouldn't even recognize the old me

A stranger to myself, before you came along
Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song
You showed me who I am, you handed me the keys
And I unlocked the door to the better part of me

Without your love, I'd still be
Someone else, a stranger to myself

Without your love, without your kiss
Showed me what life really is
I never wanna go back there again

To when I was a stranger to myself, before you came along
Who I was back then is like an old forgotten song
You showed me who I am, you handed me the keys
And I unlocked the door to the better part of me

Without your love, I'd still be
Someone else, a stranger to myself

Found some old forgotten photographs, yeah
Looking at 'em kinda made me laugh at the
Big hair and the drunk smile
I ain't seen him in quite a while

    When I hear this song I think about me going to what is my church now with my girlfriend, which were exes, but we're friends, but the point is I met my now 2 best friends there and they're my family and I was a complete stranger before I met them, before I met God! Once God led me to Him, he blessed me, not saying I'm not sad or unhappy, but they make life so much better, and I encourage fellow Christians and all people of you're not In church, start goin! God will bless you TREMENDOUSLY! EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!

  23. G.... B....

    This song gives a country/mountain feeling I've never felt before

    G.... B....

    Golden Barlow damn I would hate to know the feeling you get when listening to Alabama's song called mountain music (oh play me some mountain music like grandma and grandpa used to play. You can hear it either from Alabama themselves or it's also used in the brad paisley Alabama duet old Alabama

    G.... B....

    countrygirl countrymusiclover I love Alabama

    G.... B....

    Golden Barlow ok. And I give a crap because......

  24. D.... C....

    Dierks and george strait are the only country singers i can listen to these days. This is one hell of an album

    D.... C....

    Don Corleone HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY THE ONLY TWO YOU LISTEN TO THESE DAYS WHEN ABOUT 89% OF THE PEOPLE OUT TODAY ARE JUST AS EQUALLY COUNTRY (AND TALENTED) AS DIERKS. THE OTHERS ARE EQUALLY AS TALENTED AND COUNTRY AS GEORGE STRAIT. THE ONLY ONES NOT WORTH LISTENING TO ARE ON THIS LIST BUT THEY'RE STILL EQUALLY AS COUNTRY AS EITHER DIERKS OR GEORGE. THE SHITTY PEOPLE NOT WORTH LISTENING TO THESE DAYS ARE CHRIS SHITPELTON FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE KEITH URBAN DAN AND SHAY RASCAL FLATS JOHN PARTEE ELI YOUNG BAND AND THAT'S IT. ANYBODY ELSE IS WORTH LISTENING TO

    D.... C....

    Jayson LaPlante Thanks man

  40. D.... S....

    Thanks again Dierks for an amazing song. I love the song I feel I can relate to it. I'm a fan and always will be. Sometimes I still feel like a stranger to people and myself. I do all I do for people and still feel like I don't exist to anyone. I'm happy for you this album is going to be the best ever for Dierks Bentley ! Go my friend keep your journey going strong. Love you so much. God Bless and be safe. ~♥~♥~♥~🤠🤠🤠🤠❤💗💕💞💞😊😀😁

    D.... S....

    Jacob Leigh yes you can. He's such an awesome person. I got to see and meet him and he's just a nice guy. His songs are so easy to listen to. He's to the point with his songs. I can relate to this song. I love burning man as well.

    D.... S....

    Debbie Smitherman I know where you are coming from the feeling like a stranger to everyone and myself it is really hard doing so much for people and they just write you off until they need your help again. Such a great song and kinda tugs at the Ole heart strings.

    D.... S....

    Brady Pentecost yes I agree with you 100%. This song and the lyrics to it I relate to it so well. It's as if it's describing me in some ways. You are right about what you said I'm no stranger when they need my help or they need someone but after I help them I become a stranger again and I get no help when I need it. My relationship could be better but I'm a stranger to him as well. I'm just here to do all the work and do my job as well as he forgets he's married to me and does what ever he wants. It's hard for me to understand why people up and do the things like they do to me and then leave me as if don't exist. I love Dierks and for sure love this song. It hits home. I was able to see him awhile back and enjoyed every minute of the concert. You have a very good day. Thank you for the comment and sorry if I talked about my situation too much. 😊

    D.... S....

    Debbie Smitherman you are fine I do not mind listening or should I say reading lol. Thank goodness for music like this from Dierks even though it reminds us and kind of puts things in perspective of how our lives really are, in a way it kinda soothes the soul! I bet the concert was great and am sure you really enjoyed! I hope you have a great day as well!

    D.... S....

    Brady Pentecost well thank you. It was nice just letting things out. I try to be as nice as I can to everyone for that was the way I was raised. Some people I know just doesn't know how to accept my kindness until they need me or want my help. It's just an up and down hill road for me these days. Yes, thank God for Dierks Bentley. His music hits close home. Yes, I enjoyed his concert I was at the front row he kneeled down and gave me his pick and I got his autograph. It was awesome. I want to go see him again. He's one of a kind. This album is so good. Thank you for your kind words and you have a great day. 😊😀😁
