Strangers
Unveiling Heartbreak: Victoria Wells' 'Strangers' Saga
Lyrics
Spent the summer on a private island
Reflecting on a summer spent in seclusion on a private island
But you couldn't get her out of her your mind
Unable to forget someone despite the exclusive summer experience
When we got home, you let go, so you had a free hand for hers
Upon returning home, releasing a connection to make room for a new one
You taught me to love, you taught me to leave
Learning both love and detachment from the person
When I didn't have faith, you said "just believe that I'll be there for you, there's nothing I wouldn't do"
Receiving encouragement to have faith and trust, leading to trust issues
But spare me the speech, now I got trust issues
Expressing skepticism and cynicism after facing betrayal
Now we're just strangers who know each other's secrets
Transitioning into strangers despite knowing each other's secrets
And we're the only ones who've seen the other bleedin'
Shared experiences of pain, indicating a deep connection
And you still found a reason to give it all away
Finding reasons to end the relationship despite shared intimacy
Then had the nerve to hate me when I wouldn't stay
Facing resentment for leaving when asked to stay
And now we're strangers
Emphasizing the current state of being strangers
If I could go back to that very first day I don't know if I would have walked away
Nostalgia for the past and uncertainty about the decision to walk away
or if I could've done more to make you stay, but I don't even miss you these days
Ambivalence about whether more effort could have saved the relationship
Every morning, every day was a conscious choice to let you slip away
Consciously choosing to let go every day, indicating a deliberate decision
I won't be ruled by the things I feel, and I learned a lot bout the power of will
Rejecting being controlled by emotions and acknowledging the power of will
Now we're just strangers who know each other's secrets
Reiterating the theme of becoming strangers despite shared secrets
And we're the only ones who've seen the other bleedin'
Highlighting the unique bond formed through shared pain
And you still found a reason to give it all away
Discovering reasons to end the relationship despite the emotional connection
Then had the nerve to hate me when I wouldn't stay
Facing blame for leaving when staying was not possible
Now we're just strangers who know each other's secrets
Repeating the theme of becoming strangers despite knowing each other's secrets
And it's dangerous, cause there's no list of reasons
Pointing out the danger of justifying actions at the expense of someone else's peace of mind
that's long enough to justify your peace of mind at the expense of mine
Stating that no reasons are sufficient to justify causing harm to another's peace of mind
(Well you get the picture)
Adding a parenthetical reminder to understand the presented perspective
Now we're just strangers who know each other's secrets
Reiterating the theme of becoming strangers through shared secrets
And we're the only ones who've seen the other bleedin'
Emphasizing the unique bond formed through shared pain
And you still found a reason to give it all away
Finding reasons to end the relationship despite emotional connection
Then had the nerve to hate me when I wouldn't stay
Facing resentment for leaving when staying was not feasible
And now we're strangers
Summarizing the current status of being strangers
And now we're strangers
Reaffirming the current state of being strangers
