Strangers
Echoes of Love Lost: Navigating Change and Estrangement
Lyrics
I didnt mean to argue
I didn't intend to engage in an argument
I didnt mean to be mean
I didn't mean to be unkind
All that I wanted was that you
All I desired was for both of us to recall past times
And me, we remember the old times
You and I, reminiscing about the past
And the people we are now are different and strange
The present versions of ourselves are different and unfamiliar
And like strangers we feel each time that we meet
We, like strangers, experience an unfamiliarity each time we meet
Who are you now, it ́s me
You have changed, and it's difficult for me to recognize you
Don ́t you see that we once believed
Don't you realize we once shared beliefs?
In the same things
We used to believe in the same things
Now here we are
Now, here we are in a different place
Pushing the air, painting words in it
We engage in meaningless conversation, not listening as we once did
Not listening as carefully as we did before
Not paying careful attention as before
Youre telling me things that youre proud o
You're expressing things you're proud of
And I dont see the point
I fail to see the significance or meaning
And the people we are now are different and strange
The current versions of ourselves are still unfamiliar
And like strangers we feel each time that we meet
Like strangers, there's an awkwardness each time we meet
What has happened to you, dear?
Expressing concern about the changes in you
What did I become in your eyes?
Questioning the perception you now have of me
Cause in mine, I didnt change
In my view, I haven't changed
Once or twice you were telling me a lie
Accusation of you telling lies on a few occasions
And I denied that for you were once
I refused to accept that you, who I loved, could deceive
Someone I loved
Reflection on a past emotional connection
Someone I loved
Emphasizing the depth of past affection
And the people we are now are different and strange
The present versions of ourselves remain unfamiliar
And like strangers we feel each time that we meet
Like strangers, awkwardness persists in our meetings
And the people we are now are odd the way they talk
The current versions of ourselves are peculiar in communication
What has happened to you, dear?
Expressing concern about changes in you
What did I become in your eyes?
Questioning the perception you now have of me
In your eyes?
Pondering how I am perceived in your eyes
