Perfect Stranger - lyrics

Chorus:
Their hearts beat to the rhythm of drama.
Her pulse flows to the speed of the drug.
She holds him by a small, thin thread.
And he mistakes all of that for love.

V.1
Capture their hearts. Control their minds, while the fabric of their lives still unwinds.
The scars on your wrists may fade but the wounds on their hearts will never go away.
Best be glad I wasn't there to lay all your sh*t bare.
To show the world your other face that hides behind your plaster smile, to sit and tell MY story for a while.
How you destroyed a stranger's dream. No, this life is never what it seems.
We all put on a pretty good act and play like everything's okay, but life gives and takes and Karma's a b*tch and you'll get yours someday.

Chorus:
Their hearts beat to the rhythm of drama.
Her pulse flows to the speed of the drug.
She holds him by a small, thin thread.
And he mistakes all of that for love.

V.2
Never again will someone own me. I know who I am and want to be.
She stole their hearts before I ever had a chance, before we ever danced.
Shattered them into a million bits. What a crazy b*itch!
I want to hold a mirror up to her face. But even she is fooled by all the fake.
I belong to no one but myself. Won't let a stranger hold my heart up on a damaged shelf.

Bridge:
No strings attached.... only chords.. & all the boos we can't afford.....
Should have known..... too good to be true.... my innocence was too much for you....
We played... We sang... We laughed... We danced.... It was an open.... mic.... ro..... mance....

Chorus 2:
My heart doesn't need their drama.
His touch was my only drug.
I held on to a small, thin thread.
Attached to a man, attached to a stranger, who doesn't know love.
