Comfort Of Strangers
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know the stars that shine on me,
Are brighter than you or I could ever be.
I know there's an answer to your question,
But I don't if I could word it right.
Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
I'm not sure that I should say it out loud,
Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
Right at this time, I'm gonna keep that in mind
One love, is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff
Just the comfort of strangers
Always the comfort of strangers
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
I know the sun that shines on me,
Has better times than you or I could ever be,
I know there's an answer to the question,
and I'm not sure that I should word it right,
Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
Everytime your gonna set me free,
Say what you mean,
Don't tell it like it could be,
Right this time, let's take it right home to see
One love is better than not enough
I'd rather have no love, than messing with the wrong stuff,
It's just the comfort of strangers
Oh it's the comfort of strangers
Why, some of those are like best friends, best friends,
Ones that keep you coming round again
