we were strangers for all of those years
now we’re strangers of a different kind my dear
so did you love me
or just the idea?
now i’m living one foot step away
i feel further and further each day
so did you need me
to want it that way?
do you think that i could stop reliving it?
it’s so strange to think that i
still have to live with it
i have to live with it
if i’d really seen you, would it have come as a surprise
that you’d never value me over your pride?
so did i know you
or was it some other guy?
so here’s to thinking it all meant more than it did
and starting over with some other person
here’s to making the same mistakes again
and again
and again
do you think that i could stop reliving it?
it’s so strange to think that i
still have to live with it
i have to live with it
