[Verse 1]

You wanted perfect but I'm only human

No room for flaws in your world of illusion


[Pre-Chorus 1]

Oh I tried so hard to be who you wanted me to be

But I couldn't fake

No I couldn't fake it

And I let you pull my heart from me

Left out in the dark while I'm slowly breaking


[Chorus]

Reach for your embrace but you're not around

There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud

Don't recognize your face

You're a stranger to me now, now


[Verse 2]

You wanted sunlight but I was a cloudburst

You couldn't handle me at my best or worst


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Oh why were you never there for mе when I needed you

To carry me homе

Carry me home

And I feel you fade away from me

Even when you're here I am all alone


[Chorus]

Reach for your embrace but you're not around

There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud

Don't recognize your face

You're a stranger to me now, now


[Chorus]

Reach for your embrace but you're not around

There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud

Don't recognize your face

You're a stranger to me now, now


[Bridge]

You're just somebody who lives in my dreams

And I'll just erase you like you erased me

You don't exist here in my memory, memory, memory, memory


[Chorus]

Reach for your embrace but you're not around

There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud

Don't recognize your face

You're a stranger to me now, now


[Chorus]

Reach for your embrace but you're not around

There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud

Don't recognize your face

You're a stranger to me now, now


[Outro]

(Stranger, Stranger) You're a stranger to me now

(Stranger, Stranger) You're a stranger to me now

(Stranger, Stranger) You're a stranger to me now
