lyrics

Been tryin to forget you, it’s like swingin at a ghost
I’m missin all my marks, but you’re still close
If I had an aim to take, I’m sure one shot could put you down
But you left no trace behind in this damn town
Took your footprints, left your scars
Could you give me back my heart?

I fell in love with a stranger, someone that I thought I knew
You never said you were leaving, took the brightest part of me with you
Try to find the lining underneath this cloud, shine a light on through
Gotta let it go ‘cause I found out, now I’m nothing but a stranger to you

You held my battered hands and spoke your truth to me, you said
Love would never be afraid of wounds
Whatever happens next, your words are stranded on my arms, darling
Everything that’s left leaves me defenseless in the dark

I fell in love with a stranger, someone that I thought I knew
You never said you were leaving, took the brightest part of me with you
Try to find the lining underneath this cloud, shine a light on through
Gotta let it go ‘cause I found out, now I’m nothing but a stranger to you

I just can’t understand it, and I never will forget
But shame on me if I’m ever that reckless again

Fell in love with a stranger, finally realized the truth
Maybe I was the only one believing and I was always just a stranger to you
