Strangers

I never knew what love could be
Or what the Lord had in store for me
I always wanted to be a shining star
To have my dreams, and make them go far
You came along promising something new
You said take my heart it beats just for you
But you and I weren't meant to be
You signed a promise you just couldn't keep

Chorus:
We were strangers when I met you
Strangers when I loved you
Strangers when I said I would put nothing above you
All my life I've been chasing life's little dangers
But my Mama always told me not to fall in love with strangers

I didn't see the warning signs
I was blinded by love
I was raised to keep it all in line
When times for rough
All my attempts to help us change and grow
Were met with resistance and the word no
You turned into something I would soon regret
And I'd often sit and wonder were you still the man I met

Chorus:

Now heartbreak is a crime that one should not commit
My tears have crossed a line I really don't care to admit
Sometimes I have to wonder why my heart was quick to fall
Because the man deep down under wasn't the man I met at all
