lyrics

I thought that you were everything I wanted and needed
You thought that I was everything I seemed
We had our chance at love
We took it way too far
Let's be strangers from now on

You listened when I told you all my stories childish worries
I opened up you read me like a book
Although it went well at the start
The story grew too long
Let's be strangers from now on

If we were strangers you could love me
Because you'd see me
As everything that you think I could be

If we were strangers you'd believe me
I'd believe you'd never leave me
Let's be strangers fall in love each time we meet

It seemed to me the changes that you made were for the better
But now it seems you're acting just the same
If I could only see you from afar
I'd never see you wrong
Let's be strangers from now on

As far as I could tell you never wanted just to follow
It was in your heart to stand apart with me
We both were working all too hard
Couldn't keep it up for long
Let's be strangers from now on

If we were strangers we would have no expectations
No frustration(s)
We couldn't feel we'd let each other down

If we were strangers you'd believe me
I'd believe you'd never leave me
Let's be strangers fall in love each time we meet
