Lyrics
You're looking at him from across the room
You observe him from a distance in the room.
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
Reflecting on how the relationship slipped away quickly.
You're looking to find some look in his eyes
You're searching for a certain look in his eyes.
That will take you back to yesterday
Hoping for a look that brings back memories of the past.
Don't remember the when or the where or why
You can't recall when, where, or why the change occurred.
All you know is that something has changed inside
Something inside you has changed, and it's palpable.
And you can't bring it back, no matter how you try
Efforts to revert the change are futile.
You know it's over, you've got to say goodbye
Realization that the relationship is over; it's time to say goodbye.
Such a shame when lovers become strangers
Expressing sorrow when love fades and partners become strangers.
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
Not recognizing each other anymore is disheartening.
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
Memories are all that remain of the shared past.
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Reiterating the sadness when lovers become strangers.
You can't seem to find the right words to say
Struggling to find the right words to communicate.
And it's too late for talking now, anyway
Communication is now too late, and blame is irrelevant.
There's no one to blame, it's just not the same
No one is at fault; things have changed irreversibly.
And it's never gonna be the same again, no
Acceptance that the relationship will never be the same again.
So you're trying to figure out what went wrong
Attempting to understand what caused the relationship to fail.
Where does the feeling go when the feeling's gone?
Questioning where the feelings go when they fade.
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
Praying for strength to move on after a long-term love.
You've got to let go of someone you've loved so long
Letting go of someone you've loved for a considerable time.
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Repeating the theme of the sadness when love fades.
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
Emphasizing the unfamiliarity when partners become strangers.
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
Highlighting that memories are all that remains.
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Reiterating the pain when lovers become strangers.
So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
Advising to say goodbye and walk away with dignity.
With your head held high
Encouraging facing the situation with pride.
Think about the good times, don't cry, don't cry
Reminding to focus on the good times and avoid tears.
Though it's tearing you apart inside
Despite the emotional turmoil, keeping composure externally.
It's such a shame, such a shame
Reiterating the sorrow and emphasizing the inability to revert the change.
And you can't bring it back, no matter how you try
Underlining the impossibility of restoring what's lost.
You got to let go, you've gotta say goodbye
Stressing the necessity to let go and bid farewell.
Such a shame when lovers become strangers
Repeating the theme of the sadness when love fades.
Such a shame when you don't know each other any more
Emphasizing the loss of familiarity between partners.
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
Reiterating that memories are the only remnants of the relationship.
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Expressing the sadness when lovers become strangers.
Such a shame when you don't have each other any more
Highlighting the absence of the once-close connection.
And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there
Reiterating that memories are all that remain.
It's such a shame when lovers become strangers
Summarizing the sadness when lovers become strangers.
Lovers become strangers
Finalizing the theme of lovers evolving into strangers.
