Stranger I Once Knew

I knew this moment would come along

Felt something change quite early on

Honestly I think I remember when

I guess I just kept looking for

The reasons I’d be wrong

Ignored the warning signs

It was easy to pretend

Was I wrong to say that I loved you

Even though I know that was true

Wish I could’ve kept my distance then

And you wouldn’t be this stranger I once knew

Stranger I once knew

I tend to say the same old lines

Over and over from time to time

Blind by pictures drawn up in my mind

Wish love could be as simple as

One and one is two, just as

Forever would be us just all the time

Was I wrong to say that I loved you

Even though I know that was true

Wish I could’ve kept my distance then

You wouldn’t be this stranger I once knew

Stranger I once knew

They say only the good times

Only the good times will linger, will linger

From bitter to sweet wine, if you’re taking enough time

You’ll fill up that hole in your heart

Wish I could’ve kept my distance then

You’d still be a dear old friend

And you wouldn’t be this stranger I once knew

And you wouldn’t be this stranger I once knew

Stranger I once knew
