Strangers We've Been

I still order coffee for two
I always forget, nothing new there
Passed your corner on my way to work today
I saw the stairs where we used to hang out

(That's life)

I almost stopped, I almost called your name
Then remembered why we played this game
Sitting by the window where the cold air leaks
Holding on to words nobody speaks

We ran out of simple things to say
Just watching the quiet drift away

We're standing on different sides of the street
Looking at the pavement under our feet
Too proud to bridge the gap between
The people we were and the strangers we've been

(Strangers we've been)

I kept the books you never finished reading
You took the light and left the room bleeding
Thought we had a few more years to spare
Traded promises for empty air

Do you ever think about turning back?
Every time the sky fades into black?

'Cause I keep walking straight ahead
Ignoring everything we left unsaid

We're standing on different sides of the street
Looking at the pavement under our feet
Too proud to bridge the gap between
The people we were and the strangers we've been
