Strangers (Acoustic)
You've got a razor tongue
and your words cut me open,
bloody and broken.
Let's let this soak in.
I thought I'd never wanna see you again,
but I saw you again last night.
And now I'm gonna do what I said I'd never do.
I'm throwing all my pride away and crawling back to you.
If breaking all my rules is something that I have to do,
then I hope you break yours too.
Do you remember saying our goodbyes in your room?
We'll pack our things and leave,
come back next year to see
the strangers that we let ourselves become.
One last goodbye on the shoulder you cried on.
Let you dry your eyes on my blue shirt that you love.
I know that you'll sleep fine without me by your side.
I took the long way to your house
so I could see if your light's on in your bedroom.
And now I know you'll be the one
who I compare everyone else to.
My heart is black and blue.
We're getting older too.
And keeping everything inside is something that I do.
We used to make this happen.
Think back on everything we said;
everything we abandoned.
The swings behind your house might
as well be broken now.
We were lying to ourselves.
One last goodbye on the shoulder you cried on.
Let you dry your eyes on my blue shirt that you love.
I know that you'll sleep fine without me by your side.
There's just some things about me that you will never understand.
Things will never go back to the way that they used to be.
and your words cut me open,
bloody and broken.
Let's let this soak in.
I thought I'd never wanna see you again,
but I saw you again last night.
And now I'm gonna do what I said I'd never do.
I'm throwing all my pride away and crawling back to you.
If breaking all my rules is something that I have to do,
then I hope you break yours too.
Do you remember saying our goodbyes in your room?
We'll pack our things and leave,
come back next year to see
the strangers that we let ourselves become.
One last goodbye on the shoulder you cried on.
Let you dry your eyes on my blue shirt that you love.
I know that you'll sleep fine without me by your side.
I took the long way to your house
so I could see if your light's on in your bedroom.
And now I know you'll be the one
who I compare everyone else to.
My heart is black and blue.
We're getting older too.
And keeping everything inside is something that I do.
We used to make this happen.
Think back on everything we said;
everything we abandoned.
The swings behind your house might
as well be broken now.
We were lying to ourselves.
One last goodbye on the shoulder you cried on.
Let you dry your eyes on my blue shirt that you love.
I know that you'll sleep fine without me by your side.
There's just some things about me that you will never understand.
Things will never go back to the way that they used to be.
