lyrics

I remember when he left
It seems so long ago now
Ancient history to be forgotten
But another invisible scar
That never healed

And I could never leave you like he left me
I would tear the world asunder to be by your side
To see another smile, the tears and times gone by

I was always there, same place
The number never changed
Waited for the call that never came
Birthday cards of platitudes, signifying nothing

And I could never leave you like he left me
I would go to the end of the world
To keep you safe and sound

Building bridges only to be burned
No connection could be made
And I would have been there
If he’d called me to his side

And I could never leave you like he left me
I would smash myself apart
If I ever left you in the dark

But when it comes down to it
The facts are there to see
Maybe you were right all along
We were just strangers you and me

Just strangers
Nothing more
Strangers
You and me
