stranger now lyrics

[Verse 1]
Had a dream last night, we were side by side
Saying sorry for the things we let divide
It felt so real, I almost believed
Time could rewind, and you still needed me
But I woke up and it all crashed down
You don’t care, you’re in a different crowd
Living your life, all trend-approved
While I sit back, still haunted by you

[Pre-Chorus]
Guess we were never meant to last

[Chorus]
You’re just a stranger now, a story in dust
You found five new faces who makе it last
Is your father kinder now?
Hope thе world don’t wear you down
We swore forever, but forever caved
Now I wish you well, just far away

[Verse 2]
I still think about your birthday night
How you’d shine in every frame and light
I held the camera, you held the room
But now those pictures feel like a wound
And maybe we were right to say
We’d never let feelings get in the way
But I can’t deny that it’s strange
How nothing ever stays the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess we were never meant to last

[Chorus]
You’re just a stranger now, a story in dust
You found five new faces who make it last
Is your father kinder now?
Hope the world don’t wear you down
We swore forever, but forever caved
Now I wish you well, just far away

[Bridge]
Did you know I kissed your friend?
Kept it quiet, left it dead
No one asked, so I never said
Like so many things left unsaid
You don’t know the scars I hide
The things I lost, the nights I cried
You don’t know me now, and you never will
And I don’t think you ever tried

[Chorus]
You’re just a stranger now, a story in dust
You found five new faces who make it last
Is your father kinder now?
Hope the world don’t wear you down
We swore forever, but forever caved
Now I wish you well, just far away
