This is going back to the 1970's. Firefall was kind of beta, but they got it right with "Strange Way." It's about a girl who wants the man to be an emotional tampon. "That's a strange way to tell me you love me...":
Didn't I hear you cry this morning
didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops falling down on me
Like rivers in my sleep
In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your fears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
Didn't I hear your voice this morning
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shining like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the laughter never caught
(Repeat Chorus)
Didn't you feel alone this morning
didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came running back again
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
Didn't I hear you cry this morning
didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops falling down on me
Like rivers in my sleep
In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your fears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
Didn't I hear your voice this morning
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shining like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the laughter never caught
(Repeat Chorus)
Didn't you feel alone this morning
didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came running back again
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
