PERFECT STRANGERS Original music composition By Freya Smith (12E)

I used to live in your walls, And when you sold me your lies I bought them, Blamed myself for your flaws, And you only ever saw me now and then. You and your crocodile tears, You filled a river with all the tears you cried, You tried to drown me in guilt, Held my head underneath your waves but I survived. But now, it’s been ages since we spoke. Now we’re perfect strangers, you’re a cold heart breaker, Saw you six months later, and I hate the way you smile. Now we’re perfect strangers, put my heart in danger, I know you won’t change, but I kind of hope at least you’ll try. Perfect strangers. This paper town is on fire, We burnt it down to the ground without a thought, I tried to run and go hide, But there’s no escape from the lies and the words we spoke.

Now we’re perfect strangers, you’re a cold heart breaker, Saw you six months later, and I hate the way you smile. Now we’re perfect strangers, put my heart in danger, I know you won’t change, but I kind of hope at least you’ll try. And now the world is on fire, and I’m watching it burn, I’m lighting up all our failures. I used to live in your game, but I guess now it’s my turn, You’re out of my life, you’re a stranger. Now we’re perfect strangers, you’re a cold heart breaker, Saw you six months later, and I hate the way you smile. Now we’re perfect strangers, you’re a cold heart breaker, Saw you six months later, and I hate the way you smile. Now we’re perfect strangers, put my heart in danger, I know you won’t change, but I kind of hope at least you’ll try. Perfect strangers.

Now you’re driving a fast car, I’m running home in the rain, I’ll get lost in the sidewalks,

You’ll drive off and never see me again. But now, it’s been ages, since you’re gone.
