Perfect Stranger

I woke up kind of sick
The air is getting kind of thick
And I'm tired of everyone
Like a book on a rainy day
I'm the one left off the page
And it's too much time in the sun
Have you ever wanted to try
When everything is going right by?
CHORUS
Don't need another perfect stranger
Driving me insane
Constantly saying it's time for you to change
(time for you to change)
I don't need another perfect stranger
To shout out from the sky
Explaining the reasons, the meaning of my life
(meaning of my life)
So when did yes turn into no
Should you stay or should you go
When you're always stuck in between
I tried to fake a laugh or two
But my mistakes were all for you
And it's too much pain
It's hard to swallow
You'll be there and gone tomorrow
Can't spend another night or day
I can't hear another word you say
The words you say
CHORUS
Don't need another perfect stranger
Driving me insane
Constantly saying it's time for you to change
(time for you to change)
I don't need another perfect stranger
To shout out from the sky
Explaining the reasons, the meaning to my life
(meaning to my life)
If not for you
Oh, if not for you
We all started strangers
And yeah, I'm perfect without you
We all started strangers
My world is perfect without you
CHORUS
Don't need another perfect stranger
Driving me insane
Constantly saying it's time for you to change
(time for you to change)
I don't need another perfect stranger
Shouting from the sky
Explaining the reasons, the meaning of my life
(meaning of my life)
Don't need another perfect stranger
Ringing in my ear
Yelling and screaming, I don't wanna hear
(don't wanna hear)
I don't need another perfect stranger
Trying to run my life
Constantly pushing, I don't want your advice
I don't need another perfect stranger
