Stranger Lyrics

Soft like a rose cloaked in daggers
Your grin a guise for all the anger
I'm sorry
You felt that
You needed to hide
The dirt from inside you

You know I'm filthy

Shut up,
And listen
Why don't you give up
This mission?
Shut up,
And look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me

You crept up on me
Like cat on a mouse
Light on my feet
Loose in the mouth

You waited
Until you
Saw me
Go still
The moment you break me

I'll say it simply
Shut up,
And listen
Why don't you give up
This mission?
Shut up,
And look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me?

Words on the tip of my tongue
Taking aim cocked back just for fun
I am not your prodigal son
(son, son, son, son...)

Shut up,
And listen
Why don't you give up
This mission?
Shut up,
And look at me
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think
I'm just a stranger
Who let you think you knew me?
