You spend a hundred dollar bill as if it were a dime Seem so debonair while you sip your wine Brag about your escapades, to impress your best friend's wife Cos love remains a stranger in your life You try to cure your loneliness with expensive luxuries Your sense of values have been driven to their knees A chauffeur and a limousine, you're a rich man poor at heart Cos love remains a stranger in the dark Love remains a stranger Loneliness comes screaming from your eyes The truth, it hurts so bad you resolve to telling lies Cos love remains a stranger from the skies Love remains a stranger Love remains a stranger You spoke of having a woman once and how you made her bleed You're so into yourself you ignored her every need Oh, she bent over backwards to keep you but your ego made her crawl She left with a lonely stranger through it all Love remains a stranger Loneliness comes screaming from your eyes The truth, it hurts so bad you resolve to telling lies Cos love remains a stranger in disguise Love remains a stranger Love remains a stranger

While you're dancing with a stranger There where the other cheaters hide Oh, what has happened to us darling For I know my place is by your side. I hate her eyes and laughing red lips Those red lips that kissed away my cry And I hate the life that you're living For I know my place is by your side. So why are you dancing with a stranger And why have you cheated me and lied Now you have left me for this stranger And she's in my place by your side. So why you are dancing with a stranger And why have you cheated me and lied Now you have left me for this stranger And she's in my place by your side...

Where'd you go Our apartment feels so empty And i miss seeing your clothes On the floor I wanna know Were you gone before you left me Was she yours before you ever You closed the door What does she have that I don't What does she do that I won't It's the thought of your arms holding her That hurts the most I used to believe in forever Now it's over over Saw you & me together Now you're pulling her closer I see the way she makes you high but I can't even hate her I'd rather die a millions times to watch you love a stranger You're different now You're staying at night and You're the life of the party All for her Tell me how I still leave the light on In case you find your way (Back) to what we were What do you want that i'm not What is that thing that shes got These questions set my mind on fire Can't make 'em stop

Today I might just lay around Listen to the same song Cry for no reason at all Get it out of my system You know, I used to love getting bored But now, without you, I have so much time to think There's nothing to think about anymore I don't feel like myself right now Feel like a stranger Wonder who that person might be And if you'd still love her And today, I get upset over this song that I heard And I guess I was just upset because Why didn't I think of it first? And tell me, why am I sad When there is somewhere I don't want to go? Even though you invited me and I still said no

I'm in denial Of my surroundings. They're ancient ruins — Or so they became When I shut the world out To reach for something Beyond the walls that I built to keep safe. My hope is bare; I think I need to Take a step back and Fill my lungs with air And try to resuscitate The man that died inside To see if he is worth saving. Am I a victim of my own mind? I'm tearing these walls down daily; I'm breaking them bit by bit. My feet and my hands take a beating, As I fight to let daylight in. It's up to you if you want to end the suffering And pick your feet up when you feel you're at your end. It doesn't matter if it leads to nothing; At least you tried to make it right again. It's up to you but you still need to learn to breathe And just take a step back before you fall to your knees. And don't stop the fight to find your daylight. You won't be the victim of your own mind! My hope is bare; I think I need to Take a step back and Fill my lungs with air And try to resuscitate The man that died inside To see if he is worth saving. Am I a victim of my own mind? Am I a victim of my own mind? Am I a victim of my own...

A lot of sad and dreary faces here tonight Guess they started out feelin' alright Girls with the blues, makeup on their face And boys, missin' love so bad I hear them say I need a lover, I need a friend I need someone who ain't runnin' away Everyone needs a friend sometimes To wake you up and sing the lullabies Everyone needs a friend sometimes That's what it's all about Alright You know that When you check it out, you will know That there's no one for you to lean on 'Cause everybody got to do it their way So come on down, baby, come on, get it alright I need a lover, you need a friend I need someone who ain't runnin' away Everyone needs a friend sometimes To wake you up and sing the lullabies Everyone needs a friend sometimes That's what it's all about That's right But I know... You need a lover, and I need a friend I need someone who ain't runnin' away, 'cause Everyone needs a friend sometimes To wake you up and share the lullabies Everyone needs a friend sometimes That's what it's all about Everyone needs a friend sometimes Wooh, I don't wanna walk on down the line (Everyone needs a friend sometimes, everybody) Yeah, I'm singin' out loud Everyone needs a friend sometimes (Everyone needs a friend) Sweet talkin' Everyone needs a friend sometimes (Oh, yes they do) That's what it's all about (Everyone needs a friend sometimes) To wake you up and share the lullabies
