"Stranger I Once Knew" lyrics

I knew this moment would come along
Felt something change quite early on
Honestly I think I remember when

I guess I just kept looking for
The reasons I'd be wrong
Ignored the warning signs
It was easy to pretend

Was I wrong to say that I loved you
Even though I know that was true
Wish I could've kept my distance then
And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew
Stranger I once knew

I tend to say the same old lines
Over and over from time to time
Blind by pictures drawn up in my mind
Wish love could be as simple as
One and one is two, just as
Forever would be us just all the time

Was I wrong to say that I loved you
Even though I know that was true
Wish I could've kept my distance then
You wouldn't be this stranger I once knew
Stranger I once knew

They say only the good times
Only the good times will linger, will linger
From bitter to sweet wine, if you're taking enough time
You'll fill up that hole in your heart

Wish I could've kept my distance then
You'd still be a dear old friend
And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew
And you wouldn't be this stranger I once knew
Stranger I once knew
