Suddenly Strangers - Lauren Aquilina

You always knew me

Better than anyone else I’d ever met

And that’s what threw me

I think I lost myself the day you left

We used to stay up just to watch the date change to something new

Another day where I would have you

But how can it all change so fast

From everything to nothing just like that?

And all that time we’ll never get back

You know I was never scared of the end

Only the way I knew we’d pretend

Like you and I were never even friends

From talking every waking hour

To not knowing where you are now

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?

And in the space you used to sleep

Are all those vows we couldn’t keep

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?

I remember

The way you used to talk about your doubts

Like they were demons

I wonder if you still talk like that now

I used to say you were my home

But now the house is empty

And I’m sleeping alone

From talking every waking hour

To not knowing where you are now

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?

And in the space you used to sleep

Are all those vows we couldn’t keep

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?

But how can it all change so fast

From everything to nothing just like that?

And all that time we’ll never get back

You know I was never scared of the end

Only the way I knew we’d pretend

Like you and I were never even friends

From talking every waking hour

To not knowing where you are now

We’re suddenly strangers

From talking every waking hour

To not knowing where you are now

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?

And in the space you used to sleep

Are all those vows we couldn’t keep

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?

You always knew me

Better than anyone else I’d ever met

We’re suddenly strangers

Isn’t it strange?
