Stranger I Once Knew
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
(x2)
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
(x2)
Pace by pace I watched you walk away
Please don't keep my picture so I fade away
(x2)
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
