[Chrous]
I’m struggling to leave
It’s suffocating me
So why don’t we just go back to strangers
Strangers
In a bed we used to claim as ours
It’s really got me feeling dangerous
Like I might burn it down after dark
Baby I can’t keep doing this
I’m losing it
I’m losing it bad
Killing myself over almost
Over what we really could have had
[Verse 1]
You pull up late
Same story
Half smile
Perfume on your sleeve
Say you were "out"
You were "busy"
But you don't even look at me
Phone face down on the table
You laugh
But your eyes look tired
I ask you once
You change the subject
Say I'm just getting wired
[Pre-Chorus]
Every promise that you whisper
Feels thinner than the smoke in this room
I taste a truth you never mention
But it’s written all over you
[Chorus]
I’m struggling to leave
It’s suffocating me
So why don’t we just go back to strangers
Strangers
In a bed we used to claim as ours
It’s really got me feeling dangerous
Like I might burn it down after dark
Baby I can’t keep doing this
I’m losing it
I’m losing it bad
Killing myself over almost
Over what we really could have had
[Verse 2]
You still wear that hoodie I bought you
But you don't reach for my hand
You check the mirror on your way out
Ask me if I "understand"
I know the name that you’re texting
I see the glow light up your face
I'm talking
You’re already leaving
Like my love’s just in the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Every picture on the dresser
Looks like somebody I used to know
We’re in the frame
But out of focus
Both afraid to let it show
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I keep saying "we can fix this"
You keep saying "give me time"
But time's been running circles
While I'm breaking on the inside
[whispered vocals]
Tell me
Are we really strangers
Or just scared to say it's done
'Cause I'm losing every piece of me
Holding on to what we were
Not what we’ve become
[Chorus]
