Tasneem Mahmud - Stranger Lyrics

Startled faces
Our stumbling eyes
My heart races
So I turn back to hide
I'm in pieces
But I keep it inside

Wipe out the traces
Of your play's demise
All fixed up now
It's a good disguise
I wanna face you
But I'm paralysed

Let's pretend we don't know each other
I'll put my bitterness undercover
And I'll make out that I can't remember
All the ways that you screwed me over
I'll forget that you were once my lover
Now you're just a stranger

Stranger

Unsent letters
I haven't erased
Your old sweaters
Still in my suitcase
I should know better
But I guess I don't

All my friends -
They said I was insane
Chasing your ghosts
Now I've numbed the pain
See, I'm too precious
To be chained

Let's pretend we don't know each other
I'll put my bitterness undercover
And I'll make out that I can't remember
All the ways that you screwed me over
I'll forget that you were once my lover

And don't you dare apologise
I've heard enough of your stupid lies
Just let me be
Leave me
Leave me

Let's pretend we don't know each other
I'll put my bitterness undercover
And I'll make out that I can't remember
All the ways that you screwed me over
I'll forget that you were once my lover
Now you're just a stranger
Stranger
Stranger
You're just a stranger
