Strangers

Yeah, two, uh

Yeah, I heard it from a friend, you're seeing someone new

Told me on the train, didn't take it as true

Said he heard it through the grapevine, breaking the news

She moved on to start again, just like people, they do

And I'm pleased for you, it's just the hearing that hurts

There's a place in time, where we were set for the church

We'd have settled on down, little house in the 'burbs

Save it for our second life, while we live in the first

No, I don't want you, but I want you with no one else

Call it selfish, I know myself

And that thought, now I've said it, it's got me heading to Hell

'Cause, yeah, I want you happy, but strange with someone else, huh

Knowing now that I'm better to melt inside of time in your ice

Soft ice, the ones that left, a colour in another life

Lovers turn to friends and friends turn to strangers

Wish it didn't end, I wish it never faded

But I want the best for you, oh

Now lovers turn to friends and friends turn to strangers

That's just how it ends, yeah, that's just how it faded

I still want the best for you, oh (Yeah, two, uh)

Yeah, I hope you're happy, it's all I wish for you

And one day when you're married and you say, "I do"

And you're something borrowed and I'm the something blue

There'll be a little bit of me that wonders if us two

Could have seen it through to another life, another time

Both of us up in love, like in heaven, ice

Moving into that house on the other side

Little place that we dream in the nighttime

But for now, well, I'm stuck on the train

And unstuck by memories, well, nothing's the same

Nothing but pain for a day, well, you're stuck on my brain

I'll take a moment to hold, but could it be you that stayed?

Friend said you're seeing someone new

And at first, didn't believe it was true

Said he heard it through the grapevine, breaking the news

She moved on to start again and maybe now she's too

'Cause lovers turn to friends and friends turn to strangers (Ooh)

Wish it didn't end, I wish it never faded

But I want the best (I want the best, I want

The best, I want the best) for you, for you

Now lovers turn to friends and friends turn to strangers (Ooh)

That's just how it ends, yeah, that's just how it

Faded (That's just how it, that's just how it)

I still want the best (I want the best

I want the best, I want the best) for you, oh

Yeah, I'll leave it for the night

Maybe in another life
