0:03We were just strangers
0:06Didn't know your name but
0:09I could tell you were good at hiding your pain
0:15The ones you kept closest didn't even notice
0:22But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away
0:28And lately it's haunting me
0:31I didn't protect you
0:35Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed
0:41That you were okay
0:50But I learned the hard way
0:54Thought it wasn't my place
1:02But I learned the hard way
1:07You left us too soon
1:10Such pain they put you through
1:13Only felt safe in your room needed someone to turn to
1:20A delicate flower they took all your power
1:26And got in your head before you could even bloom
1:32But lately it's haunting me
1:36I didn't protect you
1:39Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed
1:45That you were okay
1:54But I learned the hard way
1:58Thought it wasn't my place
2:07But I learned the hard way
2:31Pretending everything's okay
2:34I should've taken on your weight
2:36Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
2:41And why does someone have to lose
2:44And why did that have to be you
2:46Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
2:51Pretending everything's okay
2:54I should've taken on your weight
2:56Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way
3:01And why does someone have to lose
3:04And why did that have to be you
3:06Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
We were just strangers Didn't know your name but I could tell you were good at hiding your pain The ones you kept closest didn't even notice But I saw your heartache yet I stayed away And lately it's haunting me I didn't protect you Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed That you were okay But I learned the hard way Thought it wasn't my place But I learned the hard way You left us too soon Such pain they put you through Only felt safe in your room needed someone to turn to A delicate flower they took all your power And got in your head before you could even bloom But lately it's haunting me I didn't protect you Your skin was still thickening but I just assumed That you were okay But I learned the hard way Thought it wasn't my place But I learned the hard way Pretending everything's okay I should've taken on your weight Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way And why does someone have to lose And why did that have to be you Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way Pretending everything's okay I should've taken on your weight Then I wouldn't have to learn the hard way And why does someone have to lose And why did that have to be you Wish I didn't have to learn the hard way
