Stranger

God speed, you left me for nothing
I don't know the rules
'Your game's my solitary dream'
Is all she said, 'I'm on my way'
Too scared, you shy away from love
You said, 'Do not fall so hard'
I try, I'm on my knees
I'm beggin' for someone just like me
I said I don't get no sleep
Can't stop 'til I get her off my mind
Too late when promises are gone
And it's all that I know
She said, 'I need a little time.
Think a little less?'
I'll try my best to forget
It's so hard to move on
But wouldn't it be nice to say hello to a stranger?
Not worry about her thoughts
Or if she's found something wrong
My mind is set on her eyes
I don't ever wanna change her
I'll slip into her world and watch my troubles fade away
And wouldn't it be nice?
Your jealous heart will eat you alive
Do not take it all for granted
Find worth in what you have
I say the grass is always greener
I can't wait another day
My soul is stayed
Tomorrow's not my friend
Tomorrow's not my friend
Oh no
But wouldn't it be nice to say hello to a stranger?
Not worry about her thoughts
Or if she's found something wrong
My mind is set on her eyes
I don't ever wanna change her
I'll slip into her world and watch my troubles fade away
I know it ain't always fair
I saw the one who gave me life
Come tumbling down
She's scared it's here, it isn't there
To hide behind someone else's song and dance
Are you alive in there?
Tell me are you alive?
So wouldn't it be nice, to say hello to a stranger?
Not worry about her thoughts
Or if she's found something wrong
My mind is set on her eyes
And I don't ever wanna change her
I'll slip into her world and watch my troubles fade away
And wouldn't it be nice to say hello to a stranger?
Not worry about her thoughts
Or if she's found something wrong
My mind is set on her eyes
And I don't ever wanna change her
I'll slip into her world and watch my troubles fade away
And wouldn't it be nice to say hello to a stranger?
Not worry about her thoughts
Or if she's found something wrong
My mind is set on her eyes
I don't ever wanna change her
I'll slip into her world and watch my troubles fade away
And wouldn't it be nice?
