Strangers - City Lights

Well it’s too bad

You didn’t like it

When you pushed my buttons

I didn’t fight back

My calm mood saved me

While your temper drained me

You pushed too hard

I couldn’t take it

And it was obvious

We wouldn’t make it

But I must confess

That I tried my hardest

You couldn’t think outside the lines

I’m sorry that

We wasted time

We’re all but strangers now

Passing on the street

Without a peripheral glance

You had your chance

Well I guess that

I always felt like

I messed everything up

And couldn’t do right

My heart was failing

What my eyes would tell me

But just because I couldn’t see it

That didn’t mean I couldn’t feel it

I was stuck between me

And what I wanted to be

You had your chance

To prove me wrong

To write me off

To push me far away

I’m sorry that I wasted your time

The face in the picture

Used to be mine
