Talking to a Stranger

I thought I knew you so well
Girl when was I supposed to tell

I'm talking to a stranger
So strange, her

Tell me sweetheart what's your name?
Let's have a round
I'll play this game

And then I'm staring at a number I don't recognize
Instead of one I feel I should have memorized

She says she's looking for a boy she used to know
Poor kids
So lost
S**t must f*****g blow

I'm talking to a stranger
Real strange, her

This magnum opus
It's so f*****g hopeless
I can barely stand what it has become
Driving me to find new ways to be, ways to be numb
F*****g dumb

This whole thing, it ain't okay
Just seeing you this way
It makes me wanna throw up
Oh baby why'd we have to grow up?

I'm talking to a stranger
A total stranger
Just a stranger
So strange, her
She's changed, her

Author's Note

Some of this is still being tweaked. Like the mouth of madness bit. I need a line there but I'm not sure how I'm feeling about that one. And I'm not sure about the chorus repition yet. Need music before i can tell how many reps would feel right. Especially for the end. But yeah. Here's my second song ever written. Hopefully it's not too terrible.

This is overflowing with hopelessness and great sadness. Sadly, many people are all about playing, avoiding rather than just being up front which is so much easier. The weight of the game is well conveyed. Nicely done.

Thanks. This song probably took the longest time to write out of any I've got so far. I've got more I'm going to upload but for some reason it's giving me an error when i try to upload stuff right now. They'll hopefully be up soon though.
