We were strangers at the bar
They were playing “Wonderwall”
I overheard you say you hate this song
Next thing I knew, I’m walkin’ over
Came and tapped you on your shoulder
Said, “My dear, you’re not the only one”
Spent the night there at my place
That night became a hundred days
And I shared all my deepest secrets with you
Soon enough, well, I found out you’re something I can’t live without
And, every time I close my eyes, I miss you[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
I waited all my life just to fall for someone like you
In the blink of an eye, yeah, it all fell through
[Chorus]
I can’t even lie, I’m not doing well
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
Yeah, I’m standing still here while you’re moving on
When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to
Now I can’t even call, or call you my friend
Oh, darling, it’s strange ’cause you and I are strangers all over again
Heart’s a mess, and head’s ablaze
The nights become the starts of days
And I’ve been drinking just to get me through ’em
It’s funny how you love someone and, when it’s over, said and done
It’s almost like you never even knew ’em[Pre-Chorus]
And I know
I waited all my life just to fall for someone like you
In the blink of an eye, yeah, it all fell through
[Chorus]
I can’t even lie, I’m not doing well
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
Yeah, I’m standing still here while you’re moving on
When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to
Now I can’t even call, or call you my friend
Oh, darling, it’s strange ’cause you and I are strangers all over again
[Post-Chorus]
All over again
[Bridge]
Now I know
I’ll be waiting all my life for someone like you
I can’t even lie, I’m not doing well
Waking up without you, sleeping by myself
Alone in our room, all your stuff is gone
Yeah, I’m standing still here while you’re moving on
When my world would tear in two, you were who I ran to
Now I can’t even call, or call you my friend
Oh, darling, it’s strange ’cause you and I are strangers all over again
