The story of us is a sad cautionary tale
It's a story of love with a painful sting in the tail
We'd never met in our lives
But I'm going to have to survive
The story of us
The story of us is a short but fleeting affair
A story of love that caught me so unprepared
We'd never met in our lives
But somehow I'll have to survive
The story of us

I met a girl
Before too long we were so in love
She gave her trust and in return I gave everything
I thought, "It's fate, we're meant to be"
What I was longing for
She was everything I'd ever dreamed
We had chemistry
But one day things changed
I don't know why
'Cause we'd been so in love
Maybe it didn't feel right
Not what you thought you were looking for
All that's left to me are photographs and sweet memories
All that's left of love are songs to sing of our history
I met a girl but now she's gone

There comes a time to leave behind all that you've known
Maybe you're right about me but I'm sure I've grown
I'm not saying that I want you
I'm not saying I still want you
I tried to read your letter and I'm sure you know
But maybe you're right about me and you had to go
I'm not saying that l love you
I'm not saying that I care
For always forever
You said you'd love me
For always forever
It's been so hard to understand all that has gone
But someday I'll realise that you weren't the one
I'm not saying I still love you
I'm not saying I still care
For always forever
You said you'd love me
For always forever
I have to know if you really cared
I've got to know did you really care?
I need to know that you really cared
For always forever
You said you'd love me
For always forever

Once I gave myself a mountain peak to climb
All I ever wanted was love
In you I met someone I thought would be just fine
All I ever wanted was time
But this is the last chance
This my last chance
All I ever did was treat you well and kind
All I ever wanted was time
But something changed your way
You left me high and dry
Hanging on to questions un-replied
But this is the last chance
This my last chance
We all make mistakes
As anyone who's ever loved will tell you
But it's not good enough for you
This is my last chance
This is my last chance
We all make mistakes
As anyone who's ever loved will tell you
But it's not good enough for you
We all make mistakes
As anyone who's ever loved would do

Stranger (Acoustic Mix)

Every time I drive you home
It feels like I am on my own
I feel like a stranger in your arms
You tell me everything's okay
And assure me that nothing has changed
Yet I feel like a stranger in your arms
Every time I hold you close
It feels as if I am alone
Is there something I need to know?
Because I've been finding
That I feel like a stranger in your arms
You say that there is nothing wrong
Though I sense that something's going on
As I feel like a stranger in your arms
It's clear to me you've lost your heart
You act as if you're playing a part
I feel like a stranger in your arms
Every time I hold you close
I sense you'd rather be alone
Is there something I need to know?
Because I've been finding
That I feel like a stranger in your arms
