Stranger Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So, what if this is it?
What if it falls apart in front of my face?
I wouldn't be surprised
'Cause it happens every time
And now I'm feeling sick
Doing all these things that just push you away
Baby, tell me, why do I do this every time?

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm no good at loving you
But I'll try time and time again
Kiss me now, and tell me why you're still here

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm no stranger to loving
I'm no stranger to falling apart
No stranger to secrets, and monsters, and demons
I'm scared of the dark
I'm no stranger to fighting
I'm no stranger to playing with hearts
No stranger to secrets, and monsters, and demons
I'm scared of thе dark

[Verse 2]
What if this is it? Yeah
Drunk on a Saturday night, mmm
Suddenly your hand fits perfеctly in mine, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
All my fears and all my thoughts
You see through, through it all
Kiss me now, and tell me why you're still here

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm no stranger to loving
I'm no stranger to falling apart
No stranger to secrets, and monsters, and demons
I'm scared of the dark
I'm no stranger to fighting
I'm no stranger to playing with hearts
No stranger to secrets, and monsters, and demons
I'm scared of the dark

[Bridge]
So leave the light on
So leave the light on
So leave the light on (on)
So leave the light on
So leave the light on

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm no stranger to loving
I'm no stranger to falling apart
No stranger to secrets, and monsters, and demons
I'm scared of the dark

Genius Answer

‘Stranger’ is a song about the saga of being an anxious person and trying to fall in love. It’s also about recognising how many times relationships have fallen apart and being scared to get close to somebody and knowing that you push people away a lot. There’s a lot of chaos around it. Every song is just straight up about my life. I wrote this while I was in one particular relationship, but the song is really just about dating in my twenties, always falling apart.
