Strangers Lyrics

[Intro: Richard Rogers]
We had the world, held it in our fists
But couldn't keep a grip
So now we're losing it

[Verse 1: Richard Rogers]
So this is where we're at
Fucked up and both on the attack
Two screaming lovers stuck and only wishing
They could take it all back
Only cynical, sympathy's a trait we learned to let go
Spilling guts to make a mess
These words have weight, they're not just threats

[Pre-Chorus: Wade Walters]
The only way that this could possibly end
Is with two strangers who can't even try to pretend they're friends
And I'm not your friend

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
We're not meant to be (No)
We're not meant to be
I'm no good for you and you're worse for me
But we're both too scared to leave
We're not meant to be (No)
We're not meant to be
We always fix it up, just to fuck it up
Resent, repent, repeat
[Verse 2: Richard Rogers]
So this is all that's left, eight wasted years we can't get back
I only wish we could revise our time spent to avoid all this regret
But what's done is done
The past is dead, except you won't leave it alone
Spilling guts to make a mess
These words have weight, they're not just threats

[Pre-Chorus: Wade Walters]
If time was all it took for us to grow apart
Then I guess you never really cared for me
Like you said at the start
It's clear you lied, you lied, you lied
But this is the last time
Say your goodbyes, this is my last line

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
We're not meant to be (No)
We're not meant to be
I'm no good for you and you're worse for me
But we're both too scared to leave
We're not meant to be (No)
We're not meant to be
We always fix it up, just to fuck it up
Resent, repent, repeat
[Breakdown: Wade Walters]
Someday you'll see I'm not the enemy
I tried, you lied, it's time to leave this fucking love behind
Back the fuck up off me cause I've had it
I've had enough, but you can't seem to stop it
You're only trying to hold onto us
Because you don't know where you would go on your own
You're just a lost soul

[Bridge: Richard Rogers]
We had the world, held it in our fist
But couldn't keep a grip
So now we're losing it
We're holding on to what's already gone
Fighting a war that we've already lost
I know it hurts, know it hurts
I know it hurts to be alone
But I think it's time, it's time to move on

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
We're not meant to be (No)
We're not meant to be
I'm no good for you and you're worse for me
But we're both too scared to leave
We're not meant to be (No)
We're not meant to be
We always fix it up, just to fuck it up
Resent, repent, repeat
