Friends and Strangers

I know you remember
The things you said
I believe you meant them
And it goes straight to my head
I'm sorry I cry too much
You wouldn't know why
Wish I could explain myself
But God I've tried

I don't know what to do with you
I wanna be friends but
When we're strangers
I think you'll thank me for it later

I held you close
Hoping you'd crack and leave
Because I can't bear to face the feeling
Of flying without wings
Of trying out new things
Like learning friends can be temporary

I saw all the texts you sent to him
Your partner in crime
And you thought I'd never see them
But you stepped out of line

I don't know how you could be so happy
Making someone so unhappy
This way
(This way you make someone so unhappy)

I don't know what to do with you
I wanna be friends but
When we're strangers
I know you'll thank me for it later

I held you close
Hoping you'd crack and leave
Because I can't bear to face the feeling
Of flying without wings
Of trying out new things

Can we try again?
Can we be friends?
We'll start as if
We've never met
We'll try to mend
If you let
Us become strangers
Once again

In the end
We'll play pretend
If I fall
For you again
In the end
You'll play the friend
And I'll play
The stranger once again

(Like learning friends can be temporary)
I held you close
Hoping you'd crack and leave
Because I can't bear to face the feeling
Of flying without wings
Of trying out new things
Like learning friends can be temporary
