Strangers

from Human Initiation by Strange Chan

lyrics

If you and I were lovers
It would take the weight from my shoulders
No more pushing boulders uphill
Do with me what you will
If you and I were lovers

But you and I are strangers
And I am stranger still
In the gutter with the beggars and the traitors
Grave danger looms at my windowsill
‘Cause you and I are strangers

You drew me in
‘Til I was out of breath
I could feel the warmth of yours on my neck
And your chest pressed up against mine
You were so kind
Then you penetrate my heart and you left me exposed
Now everyone knows that I need you
Now you just taunt me
O’ how you haunt me
Why don’t you want me

If you and I were killers
You know we’d be the best
You’d kill them with your kindness
You kill me with caress
If you and I were killers

But you and I are losers
I lost it long ago
You lost it on my couch
I lost it on the phone
‘Cause you and I are losers

I cast out
You take the bait
My guard comes down straight out the gate
Then you lower yours second date
Our red wine lips meet I go in for the kill
Someone will hurt tears will spill
Only this time they won’t be mine
