Stranger I Once Knew Songtext

von Atlas

I should have known
I should have known

I hope you know
That you were easily worth fighting for
But you took your change
And walked out the door
You're just a stranger I knew once before
Oh Baby, please come home

These bricks made of gold
That you threw at me
I've gathered them up
I've paved out a road
And built my own way

I hope you know
That you were easily worth fighting for
But you took your change
And walked out the door
You're just a stranger I knew once before
Oh Baby, please come home
Uhhh ahh yeah...
I hope you copy
Roger that, so long
Roger that, so long

I can't make you love me
I wouldn't even if I could
Pace by pace I watched you walk away
Please don't keep my picture so I fade away
Is this a sign or was there ever more?
And is it worth it to pick up the pieces?
My heart it wants you, but I must let go
Because you stopped fighting for what you believed in

These bricks made of gold
That you threw at me
I've gathered them up
I've paved out a road
And built my own way

I said this once before
I guess there's a first for everything
Roger that, no more
You're just a stranger to me, anyway
I would have given you all of my heart,
But I knew we were a lost cause right from the start
I know, girl you're listening
You didn't earn your purple heart the right way

I hope you know
That you were easily worth fighting for
But you took your change
And walked out the door
You're just a stranger I knew once before
Oh Baby, please come home
