[Intro]
Hey stranger
Yeah, hey stranger
[Verse 1]
Hey stranger
It’s wild how we went from
Love to anger
Safe to danger
You were the calm in my chaos
Now you the storm in my glass
We used to laugh in the kitchen
Now we just flinch when we pass
See, meeting myself was a game changer
Had to face my own face, not a screen saver
Now sit down as I grab my pen
And let the story begin
[Chorus]
Hey stranger
Do you miss who we were in that old room?
Hey stranger
We were kids with a flame, watched it consume
I had to lose you to find my center
Had to break through just to re-enter
Hey stranger
Funny how we went from love to anger
[Verse 2]
You said, “Grow up”
I heard, “You’re not enough”
So I built up armor
Iron on top of all that love
I was busy playing savior
To a version of you from my dreams
You were busy changing flavors
Till I couldn’t taste what it means
So I turned that mirror on myself, yeah
Every scar, every fault, had to tell, yeah
Truth stung like cheap gin
But that’s where the real starts in
[Chorus]
Hey stranger
Do you miss who we were in that old room?
Hey stranger
We were kids with a flame, watched it consume
I had to lose you to find my center
Had to break through just to re-enter
Hey stranger
Funny how we went from love to anger
[Bridge]
Now I don’t hate you, I don’t chase you (nah)
I just thank you for the breakthrough (thank you)
You were the lesson in a human frame
You were the question that wrote my name
On the page, in the dark, by the window
I forgave, let it fade like the echo
[Chorus]
Hey stranger
Do you miss who we were in that old room?
Hey stranger
We were kids with a flame, watched it consume
I had to lose you to find my center
Had to break through just to re-enter
Hey stranger
Funny how we went from love to anger
Funny how I turned that pain to power, major
