Strangers

Lillian Hepler

We′re sorry
You have reached a number that has been disconnected
Or is no longer in service
Funny when we met
I didn't think how
Things would turn into a mess as they are now
I made all these plans in my head
Thinking things would turn out for the best

I never felt more alone in my life
Than on the day I began to realise
You had changed while I stayed the same

You went from "I love you"
To "love you"
To "love ya"
To "I miss you"
To "miss you"
To "miss ya"
′Til nothing was said
And now we're strangers again

Clenching my stomach, biting my tongue
I prayed every night hoping you'd be the one
How silly was I to think
That you were the person God made for me

I never felt more confused in my life
Than on the day that you told me goodbye
Why′d you change?
Why do I still feel the same?

You went from "I love you"
To "love you"
To "love ya"
To "I miss you"
To "miss you"
To "miss ya"
′Til nothing was said
And now we're strangers again

I wish I could cry
I wish I could feel
Nothing about this seems to be real (seems to be real)
Maybe one day it′ll make sense
Why you left me with no explanation

I never felt more torn in my life
Than on the day that I came to realise
You had changed
And now it's time I do the same

You went from "I love you"
To "love you"
To "love ya"
To "I miss you"
To "miss you"
To "miss ya"
′Til nothing was said
And now we're strangers again

You went from "I love you"
To "love you"
To "love ya"
To "I miss you"
To "miss you"
To "miss ya"
′Til nothing was said
And now we're strangers again
