Better Off As Strangers

(album: A Safe Place To Be - 2021)

Dressed up all in black like a widow
Right beside but I'm burning
And I won't speak cos I'm learning
What a waste of a warning
I'm out my head but I'm sober

In the spotlight I'm stood right next to you hurting
My heart aches like a fathers
I should go but I'm sorry
Well I'm too close to you lately
And it feels wrong to be right here

We could've had the world
We could've had each other
But all that's said and done
We're better off as strangers
Now it's quiet when I sleep
It's quiet when I'm dreaming
It's just another week
To live without a feeling
The feeling of you

Like a spider spinning webs I got tangled
I got chains on my ankles
The penny drops when I miss ya
And I can't help but believe in
A second chance is misleading
And I'm scared that
All my memories turn black
It's you and me in a car crash
And what a shame that it's like that
I'm not sure that I'm over
To let it fade well I'm closer

We could've had the world
We could've had each other
But all that's said and done
We're better off as strangers
Now it's quiet when I sleep
It's quiet when I'm dreaming
It's just another week
To live without a feeling
The feeling of you
