Stranger
Usher(어셔) Lyrics

Said you'll never give away your heart again
You've been hurt before and are hesitant to open up again, but I'm persistent and won't give up until you give me a chance.

I'll be knockin' til you let me in
I'll continue to pursue you until you allow me into your heart.

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
You've expressed your desire to remain alone, but I'm not deterred by this.

You don't even know me
You haven't given me the chance to prove myself, so you don't truly know me yet.

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger
I want to get to know you better and show you who I really am.

Sorry you put your trust in others and they let you down
I understand that you've been hurt before by those you trusted, and it's caused you to be guarded.

And all the secrets an unknown evidence now in the open that you found, oh
You've discovered secrets and evidence that were previously hidden, which has added to your pain.

Cried yourself to sleep so many nights said you'd never again
You've experienced countless tears and sleepless nights because of past heartbreaks, and vowed to never let it happen again.

I'm not the one you hold it against
Even though I'm the one pursuing you, I wasn't the one who hurt you in the past.

Yeah you independent as hell
You're fiercely independent and don't need anyone else.

And doin' it by yourself
You're capable of handling things on your own without relying on anyone else.

But what you gon' do when the night time get cold
Even independent people experience loneliness and fear at times, and I don't want you to face those moments alone.

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely (lonely)
You've made it clear that you prefer to be alone, but I still want to be there for you.

I ain't moving out the way for nothing, I'm stubborn
I won't give up on you easily and am determined to find a way into your heart, even though it may be difficult.

Tell me What I gotta do What I gotta do What I gotta do, do What I gotta do What I gotta do What I gotta do Yeah
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to win you over and earn your trust.

Your stuck inside no matter how hard you try to forget
You're stuck in the pain of the past and can't seem to move past it, no matter how hard you try.

Don't you wish there was a button we could reset
Wouldn't it be nice if we could start over fresh and forget about the past?

And make it easy
Life would be so much easier if we could erase the pain and hurt from the past.

But you can't take back the decision that you made to love
Even though love has hurt you in the past, you can't take back the decision to give your heart to someone.

No, oh no
Unfortunately, you can't change the past, no matter how much you wish you could.

I know its the one that you regretting, not too proud of, no
You may regret giving your heart away in the past, but don't be too hard on yourself for it.

Because you keep tellin' me
Even though you may be hesitant, you keep communicating with me and giving me a chance to prove myself.

I remember the break up
I understand that your past breakups have left you scarred.

And the condition that my heart was in
My own heart has been through heartbreak as well, so I understand where you're coming from.

But I would never surrender
I won't give up on you easily and am willing to fight for us.

No no
I'm not going to let go of the possibility of us easily.

I gotta be stronger, there's nothing time can't heal
I have to be strong to pursue you, but I believe that time can heal all wounds.

Girl, I know your scarred
I understand that your past experiences have left you scarred and wary of love.

All I ask is a chance to come in and do my part
I'm not asking for a commitment right away, I simply want the chance to show you who I really am.

It's nothing but fear and you've been holding on since
Your past hurts have caused you to be afraid and hold back from opening up to anyone new.

Too under pressure and I see us sinking in
If you keep pushing me away and not giving me a chance, we'll never be able to progress and grow together.

I'll be knockin til you let me in
I won't stop pursuing you until you allow me into your heart.

I know you told me, you'd rather be lonely
You've made it clear that you prefer to keep your walls up and remain alone, but I still believe we could have something special.

You don't even know me
You haven't given me the chance to truly get to know me yet.

That's why I no longer wanna be a stranger
I want to get to know you better and for you to get to know me, so we can see if we're right for each other.

Baby tell me
I want to have an honest conversation with you about what it will take for us to move forward together.

What I gotta do
I'm willing to put in the work and effort to earn your trust and affection.
