lyrics
"Strangers"
Strangers (4x)
Verse 1
Do you remember what it felt like
It felt pure
Was so sure
You used to tell me I was something
Soft sighs
Sleepless nights
Do you remember what it felt like
The first time that I let you in
(Stay forever)
Cause I remember what it felt like
Lost inside your scheme
Was it ever what it seemed
Chorus
I don't know how to feel
Was our love ever real
How am I supposed to deal
When I don't have the fight
And you won't even try
Now you don't seem so wise
Why should I be surprised
Now we're just strangers
Strangers (3x)
Verse 2
I never thought we'd be forever
You can't know
How life will go
But I still thought we'd be together
Just like that
You turned your back
Why did you have to write a letter
Just to tell me I was nothing
I really thought you'd treat me better
Now it's clear to me
You were never what you seemed
Chorus
I don't know how to feel
Was our love ever real
How am I supposed to deal
When I don't have the fight
And you won't even try
Now you don't seem so wise
Why should I be surprised
And I wish I could cry
I don't know how to feel
Was our love ever real
How am I supposed to deal
When I don't have the fight
And you won't even try
Now you don't seem so wise
Why should I be surprised
Now we're just strangers
Bridge
If you wanna know the real
Open up and let love heal
We can bridge this great divide
Up to you let you decide
If you wanna know the real
There's not a thing that love can't heal
We can both let go of pride
What is it you have to hide
Don't be scared of me
I'm not a stranger
Don't close the door on me
You're not in danger
Don't be scared of me
I'm not a stranger
Don't be scared of me
Chorus/outro
I don't know how to feel
Was our love ever real
How am I supposed to deal
When I don't have the fight
And you won't even try
Now you don't seem so wise
Why should I be surprised
And I wish I could cry
I don't know how to feel
Was our love ever real
How am I supposed to deal
When I don't have the fight
And you won't even try
Now you don't seem so wise
Why should I be surprised
And I wish I could cry
I don't know how to feel
Was our love ever real
How am I supposed to deal
When I don't have the fight
And you won't even try
Now you don't seem so wise
Why should I be surprised
Now we're just strangers
Strangers (3x)
Oh I thought I knew you
Oh oh thought I knew you
Oh, oh, I thought I knew you
Now we're just strangers
I can't even think about it
I can't even think about it
