Back here in the same town, same bar
But now I don't even know you
It's like we look down, ignore
And now nothing's like it used to

Getting heavy to breathe in this room together
It's so awkward, we can't seem to do it better
Can we just fake a smile? Put our shit to the side?

We don't need to be best friends
We don't need to hang again
But tell me why we have to be strangers
'Cause I loved you once

We don't need to act the same
But you act like you don't know my name
Tell me why we have to be strangers
'Cause I loved you once

We don't need to act the same
But you act like you don't know my name
Tell me why we have to be strangers
'Cause I loved you once

What would you say if I
If I come over?
And stand face-to-face now
Now that we're older

Getting heavy to breathe in this room together
It's so awkward, we can't seem to do it better
Can we just fake a smile? Put our shit to the side?

We don't need to be best friends
We don't need to hang again
But tell me why we have to be strangers
'Cause I loved you once

We don't need to act the same
But you act like you don't know my name
Tell me why we have to be strangers
'Cause I loved you once

Thinking after all this time
I just wanna meet your eyes
So I can remember why
Why I loved you once

Thinking after all this time
We should leave it all behind
So I can remember why
Why I loved you once

We don't need to be best friends
We don't need to hang again
Tell me why we have to be strangers
'Cause I loved you once
