"The Stranger" lyrics

"The Stranger"

I can't trust anyone or anything these days
If you are who you say you are then show me your face
You came out of the ocean like you came out of a dream
Your voice it sounds familiar but you are not what you seem

All your words of comfort cannot take away my doubt
I've decided if it kills me I'll find out what you're about
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

But I know what you want and why
Of all the strangers you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are

I can't trust anyone or anything these days
If you are who you say you are then show me your face
Know enough to say you are not what you claim to be
I've kept close watch upon you and I don't like what I see

I can't escape the feeling that you'll get me in the night
I sleep with one eye open, and I'm not afraid to fight
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

But I know what you want and why
Of all the strangers you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

I know what you want and why
Of all the strangers you're the strangest that I've seen
I'm not afraid to die
I can't trust anyone or anything these days

You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are
You are not the one you say you are

Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
Now that I've seen your face, I'm haunted by the letters of your name
