Strangers Now
Lost Connections: Navigating the Strangeness of Past Love
Lyrics
I bet your apartment's empty by now
I suspect your apartment is vacant by now
You're in a new city all settled down
You've settled in a new city
And I hope it has a view
I wish your new place has a view like the one we shared
Like the one I saw with you
Reflecting on a shared moment with you
It's funny how sometimes I see your face
Your image crosses my mind unexpectedly
Whenever I walk by our favorite place
Reminiscing about our favorite spot while passing by
Nobody ever knows
Keeping my emotions hidden; no one realizes I still visit alone
That I still go there alone
I continue going there solo
So tell me, did I miss something
Seeking clarification, did I overlook something?
'Cause it looks too easy for you
Your current situation seems too effortless
And now I'm left so confused, yeah
Left perplexed after everything unfolded swiftly
'Cause everything happened so fast
The pace of events was overwhelming
It would've been nice to know that
Expressing a desire for prior awareness
You were having doubts
Realization that you harbored uncertainties
I guess we're strangers now
We've become strangers now
I thought you'd come around
Expecting your return, but now we're distant
But we're just strangers now
Anticipated reconciliation, but we're unfamiliar now
I thought you'd come around
Expected you to reappear, but we're estranged
But we're just strangers now
Envisioned a reunion, but we're now like strangers
I still see reminders of you sometimes
Occasional reminders of you persist
Your friends at the mall or out for a drive
Noticing your friends in various places
I try to let it pass
Attempting to let it go, declaring I'm over it
Say I'm over that
Insisting I've moved on
But sometimes, I lose my self control
Struggling with self-control, occasionally succumbing
Pretend that I'm fine until I fold
Pretending I'm fine until I break down
Thought I would learn this time
Expecting to learn from past experiences
But you caught me by surprise
Caught off guard, you surprised me
So tell me, did I miss something
Asking again, did I overlook something?
'Cause it looks too easy for you
Your current situation appears too effortless
And now I'm left so confused, yeah
Left in confusion once more
'Cause everything happened so fast
Reflecting on the rapid unfolding of events
It would've been nice to know that
Expressing a desire for prior awareness once again
You were having doubts
Acknowledging that doubts existed
I guess we're strangers now
We've become strangers now
I thought you'd come around
Expected your return, but now we're distant
But we're just strangers now
Anticipated reconciliation, but we're unfamiliar now
I thought you'd come around
Expected you to reappear, but we're estranged
But we're just strangers now
Envisioned a reunion, but we're now like strangers
I guess we're strangers now
We've become strangers now
