"Perfect Strangers" lyrics

You can love from a distance, but hate doesn't work the same
When it eats you up inside, you have to change your frame
How can that be if you're just like me, why do I want to cut you out?
Maybe I can see you're the old me I don't want to be
Think it's time that I phase you out

You and I were one in the same
We found the worst in one another
Some things you can't rediscover
Eye to eye, will never take the blame
Now you're just a regret
We've become perfect strangers

I put my past to sleep, and now the old me is six feet deep
I'll be the first and last in line to ask you if you're doing fine
Cause I'd rather our paths never intertwine than to watch you fade to the other side

You and I were one in the same
We found the worst in one another
Some things you can't rediscover
Eye to eye, will never take the blame
Now you're just a regret
We've become perfect strangers

All we know is how to grow into a love so hollow
I bite my tongue, you hold breath, this pill's not hard to swallow
Heaven knows it's hell with you
You can't hurt me anymore

All the times that you went behind my back and you acted so brand new
My one regret is that I grew close to you
Don't say you don't know my name, we're perfect strangers
Don't say you don't know the pain, you know the danger

We were one in the same, now we are perfect strangers

You and I were one in the same
We found the worst in one another
Some things you can't rediscover
Eye to eye, will never take the blame
Now you're just a regret
We've become perfect strangers

When you pushed the knife right through my back we became perfect strangers
