lyrics

Hey stranger, I know it's been a long time since we spoke.
& All I've done these past few years is hope you found a way to cope,
The way I did,
That only comes with time.
With time.

I loved you, with every inch of my heart and soul.
It hurt me so when we said we would go on our seperate ways.
They days at first drove me out my mind.
My mind.

It's not fair, the way you call me on my phone now and again.
Puttin' on a mask sayin' you're my friend and you've always been.
The past has proven girl that is a lie.
A lie.

And you know this. Remember when I tried to make amends.
You'd come to me everytime you had to vent, but don't pretend,
When I asked for help you ever payed me mind.
M-Mind.

& I hear you, accusing me of livin' in the past.
But even ask I speak the present's fading fast into what used to be.
This is my goodbye, before what you used to be
is a stranger in my memory.

Hey stranger, I know it's been a long time since we spoke.
& All I've done these past few years is hope you found a way to cope,
The way I did,
That only comes with time.
With time.
