Stranger
Joe Bermudez feat. Hilary Duff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there's so much you hide
You treat me like a queen when we go out
Wanna show everyone what our love's about
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd
But when no ones around
There's no kindness in your eyes
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
You made yourself look perfect in every way
So, when this goes down, I'm the one that will be blamed
Your plan is working, so you can just walk away
Baby, your secret's safe
There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
Such a long way back from this place we are at
When I think of all the time I've wasted, I could cry
There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
If they could only see you like I do
Then they would see a stranger too
The lyrics of the song "Stranger" by Joe Bermudez feat. Hilary Duff describe the feeling of being in a relationship with someone who has changed over time and is no longer the person they used to be. The singer of the song speaks about how nobody believes her when she tells them that her partner is out of their mind and hiding things from her. However, the partner puts on a façade of being a perfect partner in public, showering the singer with love and attention. Yet, when they are alone, the partner's demeanor changes entirely, and there is no kindness in their eyes.
The singer is aware that something is not right, and she questions whether she has ever been this cruel to her partner, making them wonder who was standing in the room. She realizes that her partner's plan is working, and they can just walk away, leaving the singer to bear the brunt of the blame. The song also describes the long way back from the current situation, where the singer has wasted a lot of time.
Overall, the song "Stranger" is about the emotional turmoil one experiences when their partner changes and becomes a stranger to them. It explores the feelings of confusion, frustration, and betrayal that come with having someone you thought you knew so well turn into a different person altogether.

Nobody believes me when I tell them that you're out of your mind
People don't trust me when I say that you have some issues
Nobody believes me when I tell them that there's so much you hide
When I say there are things you hide, no one believes me
You treat me like a queen when we go out
When we are in public, you treat me like royalty
Wanna show everyone what our love's about
You want to express our love to the world
All wrapped up in me whenever there is a crowd
You're very affectionate towards me when we're around people
But when no ones around
However, when we are alone
There's no kindness in your eyes
You look at me with a lack of kindness
The way you look at me, it's just not right
There is something off when you are looking at me
I can tell what's going on this time
I can sense that something is amiss this time
There's a stranger in my life
I feel like I am dealing with a stranger
You're not the person that I once knew
You're not the same person I used to know
Are you scared to let them know it's you?
Are you afraid to reveal your true self to others?
If they could only see you like I do
If others could see you the way I see you
Then they would see a stranger too
Then they would feel the same way I do, that you are a stranger
Did I ever do anything that was this cruel to you?
Did I ever treat you cruelly like this?
Did I ever make you wonder who was standing in the room?
Did I ever make you question who I am?
You made yourself look perfect in every way
You always present yourself as perfect
So, when this goes down, I'm the one that will be blamed
Eventually, when things fall apart, it will be my fault
Your plan is working, so you can just walk away
Your scheme is successful, so you can just leave
Baby, your secret's safe
Your secret is safe with me, even though I know the truth
Such a long way back from this place we are at
It feels like we have a long way to go to get back to where we were
When I think of all the time I've wasted, I could cry
Reflecting on all the time we've wasted together makes me very emotional
