Gonna Be 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.
All the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
Well it sure turned out to be a short forever
Just once i turned my back and you were gone
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing i can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
It amazes me not knowing any better
Than to think i had a love that would be true
Why i should be taken out tarred and feathered
To have let myself be taken in by you
