Why We're Strangers

It's a guttural feeling,

tied to my blood stream.

Runing through my veins,

icy cold.

It's an inkling of silence,

a moment of quiet,

to relive everything, you did.

And still, sometimes I forget,

Why we're strangers,

holding anger.

Never safer,

than in your arms.

But still, we're strangers,

strait out the manger,

cause I heard you slander,

the name you once loved.

It's a trident of promise,

drawn to the novice,

of girls fresh out the gate.

It's a frail imposition,

not allowed to question him,

but sometimes he was sweet.

And still sometimes I forget,

why we're strangers,

holding anger.

Never safer,

than in your arms.

But still we're strangers,

strait out the manger,

cause I heard you slander,

the name you once loved.

And I want to fall into your arms,

but I can't be falling that far.

Scared to break and scared to be fine,

knowing I need to be on his time.

My life, my choices, and who I am,

can't follow the lead of a man.

And now I'll never forget,

Why we're strangers,

holding anger.

Never safer,

than from your arms.

And we'll be strangers,

strait out the manger,

cause I heard you slander,

the name you once loved.

When you stand there,

and say you don't care,

to the name you once loved,

my name you once loved.
