strangers on a street

we walk away from each other like strangers in the street

what we once had for each other now takes a back seat

gone for all eternity, we have erased one another

with all the same mistakes that kept pushing us further

so far from where we came with so much of everything.

how did we start with so much and now end with nothing.

we walk away from our pasts and everything we knew

from everything we built upon and ever worked through

its not worth it any more to hold a broken heart

to feel the pain inside keep beating as we part

so we walk away from it all because its all thats left to do

leave the pieces all behind while they unravel and undo.

so we leave each other on separate corners of dark streets 

too scared to keep holding on while history repeats.

so we walk away from it all and watch our shadows fade

reminded of all the memories that we once made.

and our shadows left lingering just two strangers on a street

distant memories to remind us of our loves defeat.
