Strange Encounter Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You'll only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house
Half naked, looking through your telephone
Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out


[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away

[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living

[Verse 2]
Wanna find somebody
But not like this
Yeah, I'm a decent person
Just a little aimless


[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living

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 [?]
