We Were Gonna Be
Fleeting Promises: Strangers in Flames
Lyrics
We were more than
We had a relationship that went beyond
Leaving at Two am
We used to leave together at 2 am
Somethin' that ain't love
What we had wasn't genuine love
But ain't just friends
But it wasn't merely a friendship either
I was more than
I had a significant role in your life
A rule for you to break
I set rules for you, and you broke them
More than just a piece
I was more than just a pawn in a game you were tired of playing
In a game you're sick of playing
You were weary of the relationship
We were gonna be so on fire
We had the potential to be passionately in love
Gonna be a raging storm
We could have been intense and powerful like a storm
Never gonna be more than strangers
We were never going to progress beyond being strangers
Never gonna be something more
Our connection was never going to evolve into something more meaningful
Did you think about
Did you consider turning back the car?
Turning that car around
After all the lies that you left with me
After all the lies that you left with me
Reflecting on the deception that remains with me
Left with me
Reminded of the falsehoods that linger
I wanna burn down our house
Expressing a desire to destroy our shared space
And next maybe this whole effin town
Possibly extending to the entire town
Right down to ashes, just set me free
Symbolizing a wish to start anew, to be liberated
We were gonna be so on fire
We had the potential to be intensely passionate
Gonna be a raging storm
Could have been as powerful as a raging storm
Never gonna be more than strangers
We were destined to remain strangers
Never gonna be something more
Our connection was never meant to be anything more
Cuz everything's a trigger
Every aspect of our relationship is a source of pain
Like liquor always bitter
Similar to the bitterness of liquor
The aroma of your spirit that I've worn
The lingering essence of your character that I carry
Never gonna be more than strangers
We are destined to remain strangers
Never gonna be something more
Our connection won't progress beyond this
Never gonna be more than strangers
We will never be more than strangers
We were gonna be so on fire
We had the potential for intense passion
Gonna be a raging storm
Could have been as powerful as a raging storm
Never gonna be more than strangers
We were destined to remain strangers
Never gonna be something more
Our connection was never meant to be anything more
We were gonna be
We had the potential to be
Oooh woah
A vocal expression of emotion
We were gonna be
We had the potential to be
Oooh
A repeated emphasis on the missed potential
