the stranger

i grew up breathing smoke, now oxygen's the bad habit

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

what a fucking waste

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

this illness is evil

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

this illness is insidious

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

what a wasted fucking life

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

what a wasted fucking youth

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

don't know how to stop how to stop

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i miss you

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

what killed my spirit

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

just a malfunctioning human being

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

there'd be so much i could say

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i wish i was a songwriter

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i feel like i might break

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

lonely

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

so in the end i guess it was no surprise you hated me. i had become you

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

everything i became was a direct response to being with you

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i'm sure that the pain i feel would cripple you if you felt it

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i should have been treated like something. like i was worth something. i'm worth that, aren't i?

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i'm a good person. i care and i'm kind. i should have been treated better

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

i pick up my guitar again, now that we're apart. i hope you do too

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

or if they speak about you at all

[the stranger @_lionmeat]

do you ever wonder how people speak about you?
