Strangers Now

[Verse 1] Got some people that I miss Ain't seen them in a while I still love you to bits I still see you in my mind Our photos turn to ghosts Laughter stuck in echoes I try to reach across the past But you're too far to hold [Verse 2] It's so lonely on the road I know it's what I chose Every day it gets so cold But you keep me on my toes We promised we would stay But promises decay I whisper to the old you But silence hits replay [Chorus] Oh I know I know we're just strangers now We don’t talk, we don’t reach We don’t fight, we don’t speak Oh I know I know we're just strangers now Used to be my safe place Now I can't recall your face [Verse 3] Ain't got no heart left to break But I'll give you what I got I know you're just the same But I know that it's not your fault Life pulled us apart Like stars in different skies Still pray you're doing fine Even if I'm not in your life [Chorus] Oh I know I know we're just strangers now You don’t know my scars I don’t know your house Oh I know I know we’re just strangers now But damn, we used to laugh Like the world was ours somehow [Bridge] Ain’t seen you in a while But I still love you to bits I know you're not to blame But it hurts more than it admits I scroll through all our memories Like they still mean the same But deep down I know We ain't playing that game [Verse 4 – Soft breakdown] Remember late-night calls? Hearts on speakerphone Secrets like religion That only we had known Now I write these verses In place of "How you been?" You were more than just a friend You were blood without the skin [Final Chorus – Stripped-down vocals, echo fx] Oh I know I know we’re just strangers now Took different roads Different dreams, different towns Oh I know Yeah, we’re just strangers now But part of me Still hopes you’ll turn around [Outro – Spoken, soft, fading] If you ever hear this… Just know I still smile when I say your name Even if we’re strangers Even if it’s never the same.
