Lyrics

When Lovers Become Strangers

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You're looking at him across the room

Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon

You're looking to find some look in his eyes

That will take you back to yesterday

Don't remember the when or the where or why

All you know is that something has changed inside

And you can't bring it back no matter how you try

You know it's over, you got to say goodbye

Chorus:

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

It's such a shame when you don't know each other anymore

And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

You can't seem to find the right words to say

And it's too late for talking now anyway

There's no one to blame it's just not the same

And it's never gonna be the same again, no

So you're trying to figure out what went wrong

Where does the feeling go when the feeling's gone?

And you pray for the strength just to carry on

You've got to let go of someone you've loved so long

(chorus)

So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away

With your head held high

Think about the good times, don't cry, don't cry

Though it's tearing you apart inside

It's such a shame, it's such a shame

And you can't bring it back no matter how you try

You got to let go, you've gotta say goodbye

(chorus)

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

It's such a shame when you don't have each other anymore

And all the memories that you shared are all that's still there

It's such a shame when lovers become strangers

Lovers become strangers
