[Verse 1]
We seemed like strangers then
But we gon' be strangers now!
Never took a glance, won't look
For you in the crowd
Used to be family, ain't that sad?
And frankly as time passed
We became spacious and at last
You got your wish that you asked for
Should've talked, should've shown more
Could've cropped you out my life
Had no option, but keep going
Ain't my day, not my night
Didn't stop, should've listened
I am done, and am done for
Partial pieces are missing
No more soul left to pour
I'm feeling like a statue
I wanna talk and you know it
I swear you can see me
Collected a lot of dust, until I blew it
Pass each other in the same room
I see that you care less
So why do I care how you're feeling?
Trusted you
You're the reason now I choose few
We have yet to cross paths
But I won't wait at the cross roads
We're fading out, you're nameless now
It's best we go our separate routes!
[Pre-Chorus ×3]
Wherever, we're nothing, but strangers
It don't even take much to pull me away from you
Whoever, you are to me or came from
It must have been ages, 'cause you keep pulling towards me
[Chorus]

We nothing and we nothing, 'cause we're nothing
But strangers

Unfamiliar faces
We nothing 'cause we're nothing
But strangers
[Verse 2]
Strangers don't attract each-other
Unless one interacts with another
The closest strangers went through the phases
Looked away, must forbade us
You could say
We're a derailing train wreck
Just another scrapped concept
You would never kill for me, it's killing me
I no longer feel for you, feeling me?
Had a connection we couldn't hold on to
Was all show, never asked for an encore
The smoke cleared, the dust settled
Trembled before my own facade I
Was too caught in my inamorata
I'm basking at a phantom of an opera
A masked hero who's villainous persona
Took away a bond we had to offer
Truly, we ain't meant to be
But without eachother we are incomplete
Step into the unknown where your presence be
Go a day without noise and it can deafen me
Been on a roll, an odd ball, got a tendency
A player never shows their hand unless
They're near defeat
Tilt my hat across the room to you
'Cause we both agree
[Pre-Chorus ×3]
Wherever, we're nothing, but strangers
It don't even take much to pull me away from you
Whoever, you are to me or came from
It must have been ages, 'cause you keep pulling towards me
