Strangers
Strangers
I don't know how it happened
I don't know why
But I don't know you anymore
Though I do try
We drift through life together
We don't belong
You do your thing I do mine
It's all so wrong
When love dies, nobody tries, no one replies
You live as strangers, together, far apart
Your love's flown, you're on your own, both so alone
Strangers together, except in both your hearts
I don't know how we've become strangers
Living together, so near but so far
Somewhere somehow we both made changes
We're strangers, I don't know who you are
We sit in silence and never talk
No words to say
You laugh and talk on your phone a lot
Then walk away
We don't go anywhere together
Always alone
We never hold hands or kiss good bye
We're cold as stone
When love dies, nobody tries, no one replies
You live as strangers, together, far apart
Your love's flown, you're on your own, both so alone
Strangers together, except in both your hearts
I don't know how we've become strangers
Living together, so near but so far
Somewhere somehow we both made changes
We're strangers, I don't know who you are
Strangers together far apart
Strangers together far apart
Living together near but far
Living together near but far
Strangers, as love has left your heart
Strangers, as love has left your heart
Strangers... I don't know who you are
Strangers... I don't know who you are
When love dies, nobody tries, no one replies
You live as strangers, together, far apart
Your love's flown, you're on your own, both so alone
Strangers together, except in both your hearts
I don't know how we've become strangers
Living together, so near but so far
Somewhere somehow we both made changes
We're strangers, I don't know who you are
