[Verse 1 – Girl]
Didn’t think I’d see you here, not in this kind of place,
You look… different somehow, but I’d know that face,
It’s been a while, right? God, I wouldn’t even guess,
Funny how forever turned into “I wish you the best.”
[Verse 2 – Guy]
Yeah, it’s been some time, you cut your hair, I think,
You always said you might, guess you did more than you’d admit,
You look… good, like you figured something out,
Like you finally became who you used to talk about.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – guarded]
Girl: We’re just talking, keeping it light
Guy: Just two people passing by
Girl: No need to dig, no need to fight
Guy: Just strangers saying hi
⸻
[Chorus – Both]
So we smile like we don’t know
All the things we used to hold,
Like your hands weren’t home to me,
Like we never broke so deep.
We speak easy, we stay calm,
Like we never did it wrong,
But there’s ghosts in every word we say—
We’re just strangers… acting okay.
⸻
[Verse 3 – Girl]
Do you still take your coffee black like you swore you would?
Or did you change that too, like you said you should?
I remember how you hated every little thing,
Then loved it just because it reminded you of me.
[Verse 4 – Guy]
Do you still overthink every word you say?
Rehearse conversations that never play?
I remember how you’d turn quiet when it hurt,
Then say you’re fine like that made it work.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus – Tension rising]
Girl: Funny how we joke around it
Guy: Like it didn’t leave a mark
Girl: Like we didn’t burn it down
Guy: Like it didn’t fall apart
⸻
[Chorus – Both, emotional]
We smile like we don’t know
All the things we let go,
Like your hands weren’t home to me,
Like we never broke so deep.
We keep dancing around truth,
Like it’s something we can lose,
But there’s cracks in every word we fake—
We’re just strangers… wide awake.
⸻
[Bridge – Back and Forth, honesty breaking through]
Girl: You left like it was easy
Guy: You pushed me to the edge
Girl: I begged you just to hear me
Guy: You never let things rest
Girl: You stopped trying long before I did
Guy: I tried until there was nothing left to give
Girl: You made me feel like I was too much
Guy: You made me feel like I wasn’t enough
Girl: I waited for you to change
Guy: I waited for you to stay
Girl: I thought you’d fight for us
Guy: I thought you’d walk away
(Both, softer)
Girl: Guess we were both wrong
Guy: Yeah… all along
⸻
[Break – Quiet, reflective]
Girl: Do you ever think about it?
Guy: Sometimes more than I should
Girl: Do you miss what we had?
Guy: I miss what I thought it was
⸻
[Final Chorus – Both, bittersweet]
Now we’re smiling like we’re fine,
Like we didn’t cross the line,
Like your hands weren’t home to me,
Like we didn’t lose something.
We stand here, playing roles,
Two half-healed, careful souls,
And the hardest truth we’ll never say—
We’re still strangers… either way.
⸻
[Outro – Fading apart]
Girl: Take care of yourself, okay?
Guy: Yeah… you too
Girl: I’m glad you’re doing well
Guy: I’m glad you made it through
(Both, barely audible)
Almost
