Lyrics
We were strangers - we were strangers, for way too long
Violent, violent - were strangers
Get weak all the time - we just pass the time
Me in my own world - yeah you there beside
The gaps are enormous - we stare from each side
We were strangers, for way too long

Violent, more violent his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon
Me in my own world, the one that you knew
We were strangers - for way too long --
