[Verse 1]
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

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
What would you say if I
If I come over
And stand face to face now
Now that we're older?
[Pre-Chorus]
Getting heavy to breathe in this room together
It's so awkward, we can't seem to do it better
Can't we just fake a smile, put our shit to the side?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
