[Verse 1]
Hotel bed, waking with the morning sun
With your head on my chest, now a memory I can't run from
Got cheap drunk from bottles at the corner shop
How did holding your hand turn to holding an empty cup?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish it wasn't torture, to go about my day
'Cause everywhere I go, I swear, I still see your face
Sitting in the corner, talking 'bout the years
You would never know that it started here
[Chorus]
Just a guy and a girl, couple strangers in this room (Couple strangers in this room)
Where we kissed, gave our hearts, fell in love, fell apart, who knew?
Just a guy and a girl, turned strangers, nothing more (We turned to strangers, nothing more)
It's still you, it's still me, everything's just like before
But, it's not us anymore
[Verse 2]
Flowers bloom, still get my coffee from the same café
Guess the way that we talk is the only thing that's changed
I saw you there (Swear that I saw you there), in the jacket that you kept of mine
But, when I got up close they were eyes I didn't recognise, ah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wish it wasn't torture, to go about my day
'Cause everywhere I go, I swear, I still see your face
Sitting in the corner, talking 'bout the years
You would never know that it started here
[Chorus]
Just a guy and a girl, couple strangers in this room (Couple strangers in this room)
Where we kissed, gave our hearts, fell in love, fell apart, who knew?
Just a guy and a girl, turned strangers, nothing more (We turned to strangers, nothing more)
It's still you, it's still me, everything's just like before
But, it's not us anymore
[Post-Chorus]
(Not us anymore, not us anymore)
It's still you, it's still me, everything's just like before
But, it's not us anymore
[Outro]
The same faces, the same places (Not us anymore)
Darling, only thing that changed is (Not us anymore)
You still feel like mine but, I'm not yours
But, it's not us anymore
