Hello,
I'm a stranger
But I know you very well
I know you're in pain
And I know that you're swell

You remind me of someone I knew
Now that I know you
I think I love you

So I'll follow you wherever you go
I'll watch you through the rain and through the snow
I'll meet you at the coffee shop in town
I'd even love to watch your pretty face drown

See, I got my designs on your life
I've been watching you through the walls, day and night
I've seen you in the perfect shade of blue
Oh, from here I've got the perfect view

Today I heard you talking to a boy
But baby, to him, you're just a toy
So I scattered on your rug some broken glass
Then I came to your aid, and I came fast

See I'm the only one who'll watch you bleed
Then clean up your mess like scattered beads
Cause I know all your dark secrets and fears
Even your watchdog wants me near

Cause I'm so lonely just like you
I know how it feels to be in your shoes
I've bought all your paintings and your art
So now we both can make a new start

Thought we were as happy as the birds
But you speak of me like I can't hear the words
So I put some itchy poisons in your sheets
Then called to say you're beautiful and neat

Now that you've got me in your world
Let's get rid of that other girl
I know she's your confidant and friend
But cause she's a threat to us, her life must end

Now I'm within your trust and in your bed
But I can't seem to pause what's in my head
I hope the lens don't catch these moments weak
Cause now that I'm here I just can't speak

Oh, silly me I've slipped up again
I mentioned a supposed unknown friend
Now you've caught on to my game
And I'm on top, and you're just another name

You should have embraced my loaded gun
A subtle form of Stockholm syndrome
But I knew you'd rat me out to the cops
So today my love for you just popped

Hello,
I'm a stranger
But I know you very well
I know you're in pain
And I know that you're swell

You remind me of someone I knew
Now that I know you
I think I love you
