Strangers is the fifth single off FRANKIE’s new EP, STA7GES, which is about “the 7 stages of grief I went through during a bad breakup”. This song represents the “depression” stage.
[Verse 1]
I used to call you
We pass the time and play pretend
Like we would never end just holding on
You tell me sorries
Of all your laughs and your mistakes
Thought we knew what it takes to holding on, holding on
[Pre-Chorus 1]
What if I told you we were wrong
Would you believe me
Now that our time has come and gone
Well I've changed and you've changed
And honestly
[Chorus]
Gone are the days when you used to call me names
Staying up late to tease me on the phone, oh no no
Gone is the life when you looked me in the eyes
Back when I thought we'd be forever close, oh no no
You'd bring me up at night, I'd see a flashing light
And I'd be running out the door
Gone are the days when you kissed me on my face
Now we're two strangers living on our own
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah we're two strangers
Two strangers living
Two strangers living on our own
Yeah we're two strangers
Two strangers living
Two strangers living on our own
[Verse 2]
So how's it going?
I'm trying hard to fake a smile
You're talking all the while I'm holding on
It's been a long time
With every year's passed in between
Our crowded memories still holding on, holding on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh no picking up where we left off
It ain't that easy
Now that our time has come and gone
Well I've changed and you've changed
And honestly
[Chorus]
Gone are the days when you used to call me names
Staying up late to tease me on the phone, oh no no
Gone is the life when you looked me in the eyes
Back when I thought we'd be forever close, oh no no
You'd bring me up at night, I'd see a flashing light
And I'd be running out the door
Gone are the days when you kissed me on my face
Now we're two strangers living on our own
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah we're two strangers
Two strangers living
Two strangers living on our own
Yeah we're two strangers
Two strangers living
Two strangers living on our own
[Chorus]
Gone are the days when you used to call me names
Staying up late to tease me on the phone, oh no no
Gone is the life when you looked me in the eyes
Back when I thought we'd be forever, be forever close, oh
You'd bring me up at night, I'd see a flashing light
And I'd be running out the door
Gone are the days when you kissed me on my face
Now we're two strangers living on our own
