My Favourite Stranger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some perfect stranger
Sneaks on tip-toes
Steals my shadow
And goes where I go

[Chorus 1]
My favourite stranger
Stands in my mirror
Puts words in my mouth
All broke and bitter

[Verse 2]
Some perfect stranger
My imitation
Drops my name in
My conversations

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Some perfect stranger
Speaks when I speak
Walks in my footsteps
And talks in my sleep
[Chorus 2]
My favourite stranger
Stands where I stand
Leaves crime in my wake
And blood on my hands

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
