DON'T PLAY THE STRANGER

Play the stranger 

Just keep avoiding me

Friends are noble

They ride each other's wings

You have hurt me

Too deeply to forget

I don't need you

But the heart that's in my chest

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Is calling to the memories

Of a time when we were close

Friends legends are made of

When we needed one the most

You know that I am bluffing

It's my feelings that pretend

I promise that I'll always

I will always be your friend

~~*~~

Not a stranger...

I know why you lash out

Why you're quiet

What stirs up your self-doubt

Yes, you hurt me

But with time I can forget

I'll be waiting

Girl, you haven't lost me yet

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

A friend's supposed to help you

So you don't feel pain alone

Making the same wishes

Trying to fool that old wishbone

And when your buddy hurts you

It's forgiveness you extend

True friendship is a virtue

And I'll always be your friend

~~*~~

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

So I'm recalling memories

Of a time when we were close

Friends legends are made of

When we needed one the most

You know that I was bluffing

 It's my feelings that pretend
I promise that I'll always
I will always be your friend
~~*~~
Don't play the stranger
