Stranger

We’d spend hours talking

From late night into the early morning

Laughed until we cried,

Thought you’d always be by my side

You were the first one I’d call

When life felt big, when I felt small

I never thought I'd lose you

But I guess I never knew you

Maybe we were too different from the start

Maybe you had an ice cold heart

'Cause you were a sister

Now you’re just a stranger

A name with a face I try to forget

I gave you my trust, but you gave regret

When I think of the memories

I see how poorly you treated me

Reminiscing on the lies you told

So easy, like your heart was cold

You wore kindness like a mask

Hiding truth behind the laughs

I was blind to what was real

Now I know how fake it feels

And now I’m stuck sitting here

Thinking 'bout a best friend who disappeared

About a person I tried to believe

But who was never really kind to me

You were a sister

Now you’re just a stranger

A shadow of what we used to be

Your silence screams more than your cruelty

When I think of the memories

It’s not love, just dishonesty

You built me up just to break me down

Now I’m rising from the battleground

We’d spend hours talking

But now I’m done walking

Through the pain you left behind

You’re a stranger, not a friend of mine
