Don't You Find It Strange?
Don’t you find it strange?
That we’re not the same people
We used to be…
Because if we were
Then we would have been together
But life has taught us
That this was never meant to be.
Don’t you find it strange?
That now we’re happy
By being apart
There was a time when
We couldn’t spend a moment
Without each other
But now we’ve spent years
Just relying on our broken hearts.
Don’t you find it strange?
That we have separate paths now
We have different aims
Even though we’re alone
But on the bright side
We’re still surrounded
By our good old friends.
Don’t you find it strange?
That things have changed now,
We’ve both moved on
Leaving these memories behind.
But will we still be able to
Call ourselves friends again
Since this is how we started
And I hope this is how we’ll end.
Won’t you look back once?
To wipe away my tears
I promise after I’ll let you go
But for now can’t you stay?
Won’t you look back once?
To reflect and think back
About the promises you made to me
Or is this meant to be my destiny?
Won’t you look back once?
To tell me ‘take care of yourself’
And please don’t leave me
In this agony forever.
Won’t you look back once?
I asked myself again and again
But you didn’t, you just left
Breaking my heart into thousands of pieces.
