​strangers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You promised you'd say goodbye
You promised you'd hold me one more time
But you didn't
You told me I'd always know
You told me to never let you go
So I didn't

[Chorus]
But now it's far more complicated
You now think I'm overrated
Don't you?
Don't you? Don't you?
And now my heart will be so broken
As it's like we've never spoken
It's so new
We're now like strangers

[Post-Chorus 1]
You blame it on the fact that
We're just stupid teenagers
We're now like strangers
But that's okay 'cause
We're just innocent teenagers

[Verse 2]
I told you, told you it all
My weakness, how to make me fall
I trusted you
Turns out you loved to talk
You were nothing you said you were of
And that's true
[Chorus]
But now it's far more complicated
You now think I'm overrated
Don't you?
Don't you? Don't you?
And now my heart will be so broken
As it's like we've never spoken
It's so new
We're now like strangers

[Post-Chorus 2]
You blame it on the fact that
We're just stupid teenagers
We're now like strangers
There's no excuse 'cause
We're just innocent teenagers

[Bridge]
Should've known you'd walk around
While someone else was on the ground
You think I would've tried to bring you down
Now, what did it even mean
When you said you'd be there for me
Were you faking all that was between?

[Outro]
'Cause you never said goodbye
You never held me one more time
And you promised
I will never know
Why you ever let me go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
