Stranger Lyrics

Lyrics

Stranger

From English Graffiti2015

Written by Justin Hayward-Young

Produced by Cole M.G.N., Dave Fridmann

Lyrics

Stranger

[Verse 1] I fall gently back into another world If just to be reminded of an unfamiliar feeling You think you know the truth But it can be selective Is lying so unkind? Not from my perspective And I'm doing the best that I can [Chorus] It really don't matter Call another stranger If it don't matter Call another stranger [Verse 2] Think of when I'm holding you and breaking from tradition Phone photography and private exhibition Is any of it real? Just as I suspected Difficult to read But pretty unexpected Are you doing the best that you can? Yeah I'm doing the best that I can [Chorus] Who told you? What was I to you? I'm sorry You matter it's true [Chorus x3]
