Stranger

Well life is easier where the walls are thin Where you can't paper over the cracks under your skin I've seen your heartache, I know your pain But sometimes when you look at me that way Well I can't catch my breath, I lose the words to say I repeat the warning that I made That you should have kept me a stranger That you should have kept me a stranger But you call me friend Now didn't your mama tell you not to talk to strange men? Well I'm stranger than most but I know when to say when I know the difference, I've crossed that line So don't be scared, I know the risks that I take And the dreams to leave in the darkness when I awake I'll keep your heart safe, close to mine Oh you should have kept me a stranger Oh you should have kept me a stranger Oh you should have kept me a stranger But you call me friend Now I could get lost in a place like this Where I'm waiting for your sweetest smallest kiss Where I'll find your hand hid in mine
