Astraea

Stranger

Astraea


You wanted perfect but I'm only human
No room for flaws in your world of illusion

Oh I tried so hard to be who you wanted me to be
But I couldn't fake
No I couldn't fake it
And I let you pull my heart from me
Left out in the dark while I'm slowly breaking

Reach for your embrace but you're not around
There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud
Don't recognize your face
You're a stranger to me now, now

You wanted sunlight but I was a cloudburst
You couldn't handle me at my best or worst

Oh why were you never there for me when I needed you
To carry me home
Carry me home
And I feel you fade away from me
Even when you're here I am all alone

Reach for your embrace but you're not around
There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud
Don't recognize your face
You're a stranger to me now, now

Reach for your embrace but you're not around
There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud
Don't recognize your face
You're a stranger to me now, now

You're just somebody who lives in my dreams
And I'll just erase you like you erased me
You don't exist here in my memory, memory, memory, memory

Reach for your embrace but you're not around
There's distance in your gaze and it screams so loud
Don't recognize your face
You're a stranger to me now, now
