Stranger Songtext / Lyric

Drummer Boy



Said you'll neva give away your heart again

I'll be knockin' till you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger



Sorry you put your trust in others

And they let you down

And all the the secrets and the unknown evidence

Now in the open that you found



Cried yourself to sleep so many nights

Said you'd never again

I'm not the one you hold it against

Baby, it's not my plan



[Bridge]

Yeah, you independent as hell

And doin' it by yourself

But what you gon' do

When the nighttime gets cold?






I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

I ain't moving out the way for nothing, I'm stubborn



[Chorus]

'Cause you said you'd never give away your heart again

I'll be knockin' till you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

Tired of being your closest friend

You don't even know me

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger



Tell me, what I gotta do, what I gotta do

What I gotta do, what I gotta do

What I gotta do, what I gotta do, yeah



[Verse 2]

You're stuck inside no matter how hard you try to forget

Don't you wish there was a button we could reset

And make it easy?



But you can't take back the decision that you made to love

No, oh, no

I know it's the one that you regretting, not so proud of

Because you keep tellin' me



[Bridge]

Yeah, you independent as hell

And doin' it by yourself

But what you gon' do

When the nighttime gets cold?



I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

I ain't moving out the way for nothing, I'm stubborn



[Chorus]

'Cause you said you'd never give away your heart again

I'll be knockin' till you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

Tired of being your closest friend

You don't even know me

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger



Baby, tell me

What I gotta do, what I gotta do

What I gotta do

Baby, tell me

What I gotta do, what I gotta do

What I gotta do



[Verse 3]

I remember the break-up

And the condition that my heart was in

But I would never surrender, no, no

I gotta be stronger, there's nothing time can't heal



Girl, I know you're scarred

All I ask is a chance to come in and do my part

It's nothing but fear and you've been holding on since

Too under pressure and I see us sinking in



[Chorus]

Said you'll neva give away your heart again

I'll be knockin' till you let me in

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely

You don't even know me

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger



What I gotta do, what I gotta do

What I gotta do, oh

What I gotta do, what I gotta do

What I gotta do
