  • I tried for you
    Tried to see through all the smoke and dirt
    It wouldn't move
    What could I do?

    I touch your head
    To pull your thoughts into my hand
    But now I can't

    Say, isn't it strange?
    Isn't it strange
    I am still me
    You are still you
    In the same place?
    Isn't it strange
    How people can change
    From strangers to friends
    Friends into lovers
    And strangers again?

    Back to this room
    Back to our roots
    What did we lose?
    What did we lose?

    If I could
    I'd pull your strings for one more dance
    But I can't

    Say, isn't it strange?
    Isn't it strange
    You look at me
    I look at you
    With nothing to say?
    Isn't it strange
    How people can change
    From strangers to friends
    Friends into lovers
    And strangers again?

    Then the silence steals over to my bedside
    And it whispers who I am
    That violent disclosure turns my insides
    Stops me when I try to stand

    Isn't it strange
    How people can change
    From strangers to friends
    Friends into lovers
    And strangers again? Writer/s: Celeste Waite, Jamie Hartman, Stephen Wrabel
