Behind the Façade - Perfect Strangers

I know I can't stay but I'm still
This room is hot but I got the chills
I'm losing my mind
Can't you tell, can't you tell
Wanna fix this but I just don't know how
And maybe we're not meant to talk again
Maybe this was meant to stay broken
Maybe I'm supposed to admire you from afar
Baby, now we're strangers in train cars
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted

This is never what I wanted
Strangers in train cars
Strangers in dive bars
Everywhere we go we're perfect strangers
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
But this is what I got

An iron press hot to the face
Every time I hear your name
It comes in waves
But hey, you should know
I'm mostly happy on my own
But baby, now we're strangers in train cars
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted

(I see you look the other way)
(Even standing close to you)
This is never what I wanted
(Makes me feel so far away)
(There's nothing that I can do)
Strangers in train cars
Strangers in dive bars
Everywhere we go we're perfect strangers
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
But this is what I got

I have this tendency
Impatience, it envelopes me
I shake my head but my lips say yes
And just like that
My value decreases
My heart breaks into pieces
I should carry releases listing out all my demons
I know I can't win but I play anyway
'Cause I love a good challenge
I never said that I didn't
I obsess over every small victory
I don't learn from my history
Overanalyze like I sanitize
And the germs become immune
I know I can't win but I play anyway

Baby, now we're strangers in coffee shops
Baby, now we're strangers on sidewalks
Maybe we're not meant to talk again
Baby, now we're strangers in train cars
Baby, now we're strangers in dive bars
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted

(I see you look the other way)
(Even standing close to you)
This is never what I wanted
(Makes me feel so far away)
(There's nothing that I can do)
Strangers in train cars
Strangers in dive bars
Everywhere we go we're perfect strangers
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
But this is what I got
