Jay Parish - Back to Strangers Lyrics

I watched them sell a lie for a dollar
Their loved ones sold for even less
But stupid me, not preparing for the day
When they would come for me next

And looking back on it now
I should've seen it coming for miles
When highs turn into lows
They start to escape behind their smiles

I really shouldn't be surprised
But with my pride aside, I am
Now I'm looking at the faces
That refuse to recognize mine, like damn

I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
The ones who said their doors would be open
Are acting like we've never spoken

I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
They promised to stay through the ups and the downs
Now they're finding ways to not be found

I watched them promise someone their forever
Then disappear before it even starts
So shame on me for
Letting heart-to-heart conversations lower my guard

And looking back on it now
I should've learned the rules of this game
When highs turn into lows
They all find a way to forget your name

I really shouldn't be surprised
But with my pride aside, I am
Now I'm looking at the faces
That refuse to recognize mine, like damn

I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
The ones who said their doors would be open
Are acting like we've never spoken

I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
They promised to stay through the ups and the downs
Now they're finding ways to not be found

Deep down, maybe I always knew
I just thought that if I kept my word
Then they would, too

Deep down, maybe I always knew
I just thought that if I kept my word
Then they would, too

I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
The ones who said their doors would be open
Are acting like we've never spoken

I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
I guess we're back to strangers, strangers
They promised to stay through the ups and the downs
Now they're finding ways to not be found

It's so strange
How fast we go back to being strangers
It's so strange
How fast we go back to being strangers
