Strangers

i sit here in this place inside of this space that I don't recognize but it looks like our home but it's different because here inside of it
 it's quiet with nothing but silence
no more laughter no more soundsof love only loneliness and pain and as i sit here talking to myself inside of my head 
the questions I always ask myself remain the same like...

why do we try so hard to hold on to a thang that no longer exist.
why do we say I love you but always argue.
why do we hate the way we love one another.
will we last forever for the worst or for the better.
why did we end up like this ohh ohh

here we are once again and today we stand together as strangers 
oh lonely strangers .
because I don't even know what else to call us
oh lonely strangers 
we were once called happy 
we were once called in love
no were just called lonely strangers
ohh ohh

it's hard enough for me to just know that through all of this time we have grown and we shown each other what true happiness looks and feels like and we gotta say goodbye and well that's all right but sometimes at night I miss holdin you tight looking into your eyes and whispering goodnight so I just lay there and stare at the ceiling feeling like we could have done more but we both gave up now me and u ain't no More and that's for sure
 but just to make sure that you don't come back any more
 I closed up my heart locked it up tight with no key in sight so tonight is like any other night after I say my prayers I whisper to you the words good night
and these are the questions that haunt me like why me ohh ohh
 
why do we try so hard  to hold on to a thang that no longer exist.
why do we say I love you but always argue.
why do we hate the way we love one another.
will we last forever for the worst or for the better.
why did we end up like this ohh stangers

 well in the mornings I wake up and stare at your ghost I can see it laying next to me with your beautiful face
 facing me 
I whisper good morning you wake up smile and start yawning we lock eyes 
and I realize that we are meant to be together until the day that I die and as time went by I tried and I tried but your love for me just died and now you are no longer by my side and I sit here and stare into a existence that isn't there it's only a reality that lives on inside of my mind as I search for your love but can not find I know it's only a matter of time before I lose my mind and I slowly do I repeat these questions overs and overs in my mind ohh 

why do we try so hard  to hold on to a thang that no longer exist.
why do we say I love you but always argue.
why do we hate the way we love one another.
will we last forever for the worst or for the better.
why did we end up like this ohh

we ended up as strangers who loved one another at one point in time that will never exist again and I'm thankful that I got to exist with you in that time and was able to be in your presence and I love you and always will your memory haunts me everyday ohh
strangers ohhh
