Better Off As Strangers Lyrics by Jesse A. Watson

THIS ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE

2021

I gave you a second chance
When I didn’t have to
Everything I have done
Oh, i’ve done it for you
All of my world felt like
It was crashing down
And all i was thinking
Is where do I go to now
I watched you rip out my heart
And then you stepped on it
While i was crying
Oh, you did nothing to stop it
All of the love i have gave
Oh it went to waste
When you did that
It gave you a bitter taste
The shadows of you
Are fading away
I really don’t think
I can handle the pain
I’ve made the decision
And it might be major
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
I know this is hard
And I wish you the best
But I’ve really needed
To get this off my chest
If we keep doing this
We’ll both end up in danger
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
The fact of the matter
Is that you won’t be yourself
Your minds telling you
If you did that you’d burn in hell
I disagree with the way
You are treating me
Oh do you not just see
The things that you are doing
Why are you arguing with me
Oh baby
Do you not see
That this isn’t going anywhere
I’m getting tired
Of having to wait on you
Can you say sorry
For the shit you put me through
The shadows of you
Are fading away
I really don’t think
I can handle the pain
I’ve made the decision
And it might be major
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
I know this is hard
And I wish you the best
But I’ve really needed
To get this off my chest
If we keep doing this
We’ll both end up in danger
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
Some days I wish
I never even met you at all
I would’ve never thought
That this would be the downfall
Sometimes I lay in bed
And cry about missing you
But i’m tired of thinking
About our rendezvous
To keep it a secret
It’s saying you want it to die
I don’t get how you’re keen
On keeping such a big lie
If i stayed with you
It would have driven me insane
I love you
But i can not keep going on this way
The shadows of you
Are fading away
I really don’t think
I can handle the pain
I’ve made the decision
And it might be major
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
The shadows of you
Are fading away
I really don’t think
I can handle the pain
I’ve made the decision
And it might be major
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
I know this is hard
And I wish you the best
But I’ve really needed
To get this off my chest
If we keep doing this
We’ll both end up in danger
But I’ve realized
We’re better off as strangers
