Isn't It Strange? - David Ford

Darling, it needs to be said

We’re still young but our love is stone dead

Cold as the sheets on the big empty bed

Where I will not lay down anymore

Time will win at every race

The wrecking ball swings at a glacial pace

It creeps up upon you like the lines on your face

And the aches at the end of the day

Oh, isn’t it strange?

Strange, but is it any less true

That I spent the best years of my life just waiting on you?

All for the change

Change isn’t easy to see

So you spent the best years of your life just trying to change me

Well, I look at the world and I feel small

Seems much further back up every time that you fall

So you have no hard feelings?

I have no feelings at all

Still, I hope I can see you around

And someday we’ll look back and we’ll see

I was not right for you, you were not meant for me

If we were made for each other, we were made imperfectly

From pieces that would never fit right

So isn’t it strange?

It’s strange, but it is it any less true

That I spent the best years of my life waiting on you?

All for the change

Change isn’t easy to see

So you spent the best years of your life just trying to change me

Oh, trying to change me
