Sudden Strangers Lyrics

Said I'd never leave but you knew as well

Haven't spoke to you since march, paths uncrossed somehow

Dusting off the remnants of you

Left untouched, unthought of, unused

Soft words in my ears can't heal what already bruised

How long can I grieve for what I never could choose

Said I'd never leave I believed it too

Still grieving for the end that might've been with you

Hold your head there and cry

Might not see you tonight

All your secrets they unfold in one lie

Take off you mask and dissolve were you ever there at all

You can't stand to say goodbye

Sudden strangers with nothing more to say

Distant smiles for the words we've since unclaimed

I hate this dark room of yours

This silence behind your closed door

You know I'm leaving I've said it once before

I know you're busy, I'll leave it at the door

No comfort in this silence

Your presence makes no change

No noise for me to hide it

And nothing left to save

Sudden strangers with nothing more to say

Distant smiles for the words we've since unclaimed

I'm sorry for what we can't save

But I'm finished mourning you that way

I grieve you less and less each day

Till you're nothing but a mended ache

Said I'd never leave I believed it too

Still grieving for the end that might've been with you
