Lyrics

Strange Encounter

Only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house Half naked, looking through your telephone Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out It's all free and too easy, giving it away, giving it away It's not cheap but here I am, giving it away, giving it away Giving it away Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter The moment you came to, I swore I would change Though neither one of us would leave unscathed At least we'll both go on living Wanna find somebody Not like this Yeah, I'm a decent person Little aimless It's all free and too easy, giving it away, giving it away It's not cheap but here I am, giving it away, giving it away Giving it away Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter The moment you came to, I swore I would change Though neither one of us would leave unscathed At least we'll both go on living
