Stranger Out of Us

I HOPE IT HURTS

Alternative pop / emotional pop-rock

Verse 1

I heard you got your favorite song back

Funny, I thought you hated that

You used to play it in my bedroom

Now I wonder who you're playing it to

I kept the notes you used to leave

Like little things I couldn't believe

You made forever sound so easy

Then made goodbye look so breezy

Pre-Chorus

And I hate that I remember

Every little thing you said

You probably don't think about me

When you're lying in your bed

Chorus

I hope it hurts when you hear my name

I hope the memories don't feel the same

I hope you find me in every crowded room

And hate that I still look a little like you

I don't want you back, I just want you to know

You don't get to leave without leaving a ghost

And maybe I'm cruel for wishing you blue

But I spent so long being broken by you

Verse 2

I learned to laugh at all your jokes

Even when they weren't that funny

I made excuses for your silence

You made a stranger out of somebody

Bridge — emotional build

Was I that easy to forget?

Was I just another almost?

Did you ever mean the things you said

Or was I loving you alone?

Final Chorus — louder

I hope it hurts when you hear my name

I hope you remember who you became

Before you turned our promises into dust

Before you made a stranger out of us

Outro — soft

I don't miss you every day

Just more than I'd like to say.
