Intro:
Be a friend to a stranger
You don't know what they're going through
They're hurting and it's too much
Can't block out the noises
Every time it gets louder
And louder, louder again
They're suffering
They need a friend
Be a friend to a stranger
Verse 1:
I'm not talking about myself
This involves me too
She's lonely (lonely)
Can somebody help me (help me)
One minute she's here
The next she's gone
Never thought that could be possible
But I'm fighting to stay alive
I don't know if I should cry
Nobody accepts apologies anymore
Is it best to leave it all behind
Cuz I'll go, I'll go
Pre-Chorus:
I bottle up this pain
So she won't have to
Give it all to me
Because I can take it
Better than you can
Chorus:
Be a friend to a stranger
You don't know what they're going through
They're hurting and it's too much
Can't block out the noises
Every time it gets louder
And louder, louder again
They're suffering
They need a friend
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend that they need
Because you don't know
When their last days gonna to be
Be a friend to a stranger
Verse 2:
Better if I should just sit in silence
Because my words get twisted around
It's hard to say something
When you don't listen
All we do is scream and fight
I don't want to do that
It's hard when you're not acting right
So what can I do to help you
When you know I got demons too
We both need to get through this mad world
I'll hold her hand in the dark
I wanna believe, I wanna believe
There is a better universe
But how we gonna to make it if we're broken
Pre-Chorus:
I bottle up this pain
So she won't have to
Give it all to me
Give it all to me
You know you can't take it (you know it)
Chorus:
Be a friend to a stranger
You don't know what they're going through
They're hurting and it's too much
Can't block out the noises
Every time it gets louder
And louder, louder again
They're suffering
They need a friend
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend that they need
Because you don't know
When their last days gonna to be
Be a friend to a stranger
Bridge:
I'll be your friend til the end
When no one gets you
There's still scars left on my chest
I hope you'll get the picture
That no matter what I'll always be here
We're both carrying broken scars
That could never be healed
Wanna be friends?
We're not strangers no more
Chorus:
Be a friend to a stranger
You don't know what they're going through
They're hurting and it's too much
Can't block out the noises
Every time it gets louder
And louder, louder again
They're suffering
They need a friend
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend that they need
Because you don't know
When their last days gonna to be
Be a friend to a stranger
Outro:
Be a friend to a stranger
Be a friend that they need
Because you don't know
When their last days gonna to be
I bottle up this pain
So she won't have to
Be a friend to a stranger
