Lovers to Strangers
Abby Carroll
Found an old movie ticket in my pocket
From the last time that I saw your face
Hate that there's nothing I can do to stop this
Time comes and does what it does
Till I'm just someone to replace
Said you're sorry like a mantra
Repeat it till it haunts you
Until it means nothing at all
Mistake my willingness for affection
Replace your carelessness with confession
Questioning the meaning of it all
I'll get older
But you'll stay the same inside my memory
Just another frozen face in time
That turns into a conversation piece
I'll add you to my collection
And I'll hang you on the wall
With faces of lovers to strangers to no one at all
Lately my rings are falling off my fingers
Mom says that I need to stop getting thinner
But you took my appetite with you when you left
Hope that all you can taste now is regret
Said you're sorry like a mantra
Repeat it till it haunts you
Until it means nothing at all
Mistake my willingness for affection
Replace your carelessness with confession
Questioning the meaning of it all
I'll get older
But you'll stay the same inside my memory
Just another frozen face in time
That turns into a conversation piece
I'll add you to my collection
And I'll hang you on the wall
With faces of lovers to strangers to no one at all
Lovers to strangers to no one at all
