I’m stranger than I used to be

Yeah, I lost my job and my wedding ring

I’ve still got the tattoo where it used to be

It reminds me of you constantly

I’ve been thinking a lot, I’ve been thinking about us

I’ve been thinking how hard it’s been giving you up

I’ve been sleeping with strangers and filling my cup

Yeah, but nothing I do is ever enough, no

Yeah, darling, I’m tired

Of living with your ghost

And walking on wires

And trying not to fall

Yeah, my heart is heavy, your voice so cold

And I don’t wanna hear it

Yeah, once you were mine

But you’re not anymore

And I’m stronger than I used to be

Yeah, at least that’s what I'm trying to believe

I’ll be done with this dying, I’ll get over this grief

I’ll get all myself back that you stole from me

Yeah, darling, I’m tired

Of living with your ghost

And walking on wires

And trying not to fall

Yeah, my heart is heavy, your voice so cold

And I don’t wanna hear it

Yeah, once you were mine

But you’re not anymore, yeah

And one of these days I’ll quit seeing your face

In all these empty picture frames

You’ll be out of my head, you’ll be out of my dreams

I’ll be young, I’ll be bold, I’ll be wild, I’ll be free

I’ll be young, I’ll be bold, I’ll be wild, I’ll be free, yeah

Darling, I’m tired of living with your ghost

And walking on wires and trying not to fall

Yeah, my heart is heavy, your voice so cold

And I don’t wanna hear it

Yeah, once you were mine

But you’re not anymore

Yeah, once you were mine

But you’re not anymore

Yeah, once you were mine

But you’re not
