lyrics

Turn off the lights cause you know I won't be home
Screaming at me through an unlocked door just to keep yourself alone
It's an awful fight that you know you'll never win
But i'm only concerned with the way you say my name
When the gin is running through your veins

I didn't clothe you with the shirt from my back just to say that i'd give you away
But at the same time, it's not a well placed rhyme just to give you a reason to stay
It's an awful sight that a man can't give away
But I've only just learned there's a shame in the way
A stranger can enjoy the rain

You backed out from the pact that was made on the day you said we never would change
But keep in mind, in the story you will find we were always on a different page
It's an awful lie, that I'd ever see the light of day
But I've only just learned of the bridges that you burned
In an effort to show me the way

Now it's a small world or so you've been told by the man you thought would never complain
Just understand that the blood in your hands is bigger than what you can claim
It's an awful crime that you'd ever turn to me and say
I'm only concerned with the way you say my name
When you're staring at me through the rain

Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
Now that we are strangers
The sympathy is in our favor
