Strangers
Unveiling Hearts: Navigating the Pain of Lost Connections in Mattie Taylor's 'Strangers'
Lyrics
You had the key that unlocked everything in my heart
You possessed the key to unlock all the emotions in my heart.
You could beat me to the end of every sentence that you heard me start
You could finish my sentences before I did, showing a deep connection.
You were my 3am call, yeah we’d talk all night long till we’d fall asleep
We used to have late-night conversations until we fell asleep, discussing dreams and secrets.
About our dreams and our secrets, yeah baby you knew every part of me
You were intimately familiar with every aspect of who I am.
So how did we end up like strangers
Despite our close past, we are now like strangers to each other.
You looking through me like you’ve never knew me as if we’re, two nameless faces with hearts that aren’t breaking
You now look at me as if we never knew each other, like two strangers with unbroken hearts.
But it still hurts
The current situation still causes emotional pain.
No it ain’t any easier, being strangers
Being strangers doesn't make the situation any less difficult.
I can erase every trace of your memory that’s left in my phone
I can remove all traces of you from my phone, trying to erase your memory.
You can replace me with somebody new so you don’t feel alone
You can replace me with someone new to avoid feeling lonely.
I can try to forget all those words that you said how they made me feel
I can attempt to forget the impact of your words and how they once made me feel.
The way that you kissed me and held me, we both know that it was real
We both acknowledge that our past intimacy, including kisses and embraces, was genuine.
So how did we end up like strangers
Despite our shared history, we find ourselves as strangers now.
You looking through me like you’ve never knew me as if we’re, two nameless faces with hearts that aren’t breaking
You treat me as if we never knew each other, both of us with hearts that remain unbroken.
But it still hurts
The emotional pain persists despite the apparent detachment.
No it ain’t any easier, being strangers
Being strangers doesn't make the emotional burden any lighter.
Maybe someday, I’ll spot you in a crowd
There is a hope that someday, encountering you in a crowd won't cause this current pain.
And I won’t feel this pain, that i’m feeling right now
Anticipating a future where the present emotional distress is alleviated.
So how did we end up like strangers
The query about how the deep connection devolved into being strangers.
You looking through me like you’ve never knew me as if we’re, two nameless faces with hearts that aren’t breaking
You treat me as if we never had a past, like two unknown individuals with unbroken hearts.
But it still hurts
The pain endures despite the apparent emotional distance.
No it ain’t any easier, being Strangers
Being strangers doesn't make coping with the situation any easier.
