Midnight Strangers

Midnight, missed flight, caught in the rain.
Frozen, and broken, fighting again;
We can try to uncover what is causing this pain,
But it's plain that we're lovers, turning to strangers.

We're only human,
We fail easy as breathing,
Oh, are we better together, or better off,
Better off apart.

I'm stubborn, and so are you,
Perhaps, we're too alike.
Pretending, defending; something ain't right.
But you say that we're family, but we grew up alone;
Now we're changing from strangers
To people unknown.

We're only human, we fail easy as breathing,
Oh, are we better together, or better off apart.
But you are my person, I need you to believe in;
Without your fire, I couldn't light a spark.
I wouldn't know where to start...

But in this season of joy,
I only feel so annoyed.
Why must our loving be spoiled?
Tired of talking about money,
All the pressure, tired of worry.

We're only human, we fail easy as breathing;
Oh, are we better together, or better off apart.
I don't want to lose you. You help me keep breathing.
Without your fire, I couldn't light the spark;
I don't know where to start,
But let's make a start;
'Cos you are my person, so let's make a start.
