You met me in the dark
I saw you from the train, I was wasted
You didn't look a thing like I remembered
Smiling like a kid
Hands were trembling
God, what a mess I'm in
Stuck like a stranger
Stranded and nameless
Blissful and blameless
Is this when the pain kicks in?
I broke down, we got back to your house
If you can call it that
Just a makeshift room in an ancient building
Covered in dust, and the rain gets in through the ceiling
What have I done?
I shouldn't have come here, I know
But I can't be alone
See how we fall
After all, we're just strangers
Keep me on call
Through it all
This love is faithless
I found hell
In a hotel room somewhere near the western border
All my demons stick around 'till the morning, yeah
I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up from the strangest dream
The ghost of you was haunting me
Nailing crosses to my feet
See how we fall
After all, we're just strangers
Keep me on call
Through it all
Life as fake love
I've been crying out trying to focus on the positives in this, but then
You break apart like porcelain, and I can't make you whole again
If you think this is a mess
God, you don't know the half of it you never did
You break apart like porcelain and I can't fix you
I didn't want to meet the people that you knew
But I gave in, caved, got wasted again and played the good guy
(At least I tried)
But I just wanted to die
Each glimmer of progress
Was drowned out by hopelessness
And a simple sadness so sincere
It filled my veins with fear, and I just wanted to run
To run from everything
Outrun my youth, maybe shed my skin
Reverse the years of selfish sin
Climb back inside and start again
(I'm done)
Maybe in another life
We would be nothing but passers by
And even if I see you
You're just someone, somewhere in the dark
Someone, somewhere in the dark
(Someone, somewhere)
