"Strangers" lyrics

I tried hold my breath
Tried not to make a mess
But sometimes there's no way around
Saying how you feel out loud
Every time you run away
Turn your back, evaporate
You lose a little more of me
And I'm getting close to empty
These days

There's nothing that hurts more than giving up
It's time to be strangers who aren't in love
I thought that I would be strong enough
But I still cry, I still cry
There's nothing that hurts more than giving in
To be something different than everything
It's time to be strangers who aren't in love
'Cause we tried, oh, we tried

I know and I have known for a while
I've tried not to feel the way I feel
Because it hurts too much
Pretending you're not giving up
Is it real or not
If nothing happened then nothing's all we've got
I wanna start again
But maybe we should just be friends
These days

There's nothing that hurts more than giving up
It's time to be strangers who aren't in love
I thought that I would be strong enough
But I still cry, I still cry
There's nothing that hurts more than giving in
To be something different than everything
It's time to be strangers who aren't in love
'Cause we tried, oh, we tried

Oh, we tried, oh, we tried
'Cause we tried, oh, we tried
