[Verse 1] You said forever in a borrowed coat Midnight promises we couldn’t keep afloat Laughed like rebels in a world so fast Now we’re just strangers with a past [Verse 2] Coffee cold and headlights fading Shared a world we both were trading I still feel the way you looked at me Like I was something wild and free [Pre-Chorus] Now the silence has a name And it whispers it the same In every crowd, in every song You're the echo that hangs on [Chorus] We were fire in a pouring rain Crashing hearts, a beautiful flame Now we walk by like we never danced Just strangers… with a past But I still keep the Polaroids And your laugh in all that noise We lost the love, but not the chance Just strangers… with a past [Verse 3] We pass like ghosts through city nights Holding hands in different lives But when that old song starts to play I see your eyes and drift away [Bridge – tender, intimate drop] If I could turn one moment back I'd find you there, no need to ask Not to change what came undone But to say, “You were my only one” [Final Chorus – soft build to emotional swell] We were fire in a pouring rain Every kiss burned through the pain Even now, we wear the cracks Like strangers… with a past And though we’ve both moved on somehow You're the then that lives in now Yeah, we let go, but that love still lasts Strangers… with a past [Outro – fading synth and soft vocals] Maybe in a slower world, we would’ve stayed But hearts like ours don't learn the easy way So here we are—two stories split in halves Strangers… with a past
