why strangers now - marvie kings lyrics
[verse 1]
i gave to you my everything
i wanted you to wait on me
but you walked away, and left my side
you joined the rest of them to fight me
[pre*chorus]
and tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you
tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you, my love
[chorus]
but, why would we be strangers now?
why would you walk away at this time?
we’ve come a long way together
so, why leave? why go away?
[verse 2]
i watched the tears you tried to hide
i called your name through every night
i placed my hands upon your path
so, you could walk on them, and walk right
[pre*chorus]
and tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you
tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you, my love
[chorus]
but, why would we be strangers now?
why would you walk away at this time?
we’ve come a long way together
so, why leave? why go away?
[bridge]
i planned to lift your head again
to crown your pain with endless peace
i built a path inside the storm
so you could walk through, unhurt, unseen
i stood beside your darkest night
and sent my angels when you fell
i whispered help into their hearts
but you turned away, and broke my own
if only you would come back now
i’d clothe you white, and call you mine
i’d breathe again upon your name
and make your story shine divine
[pre*chorus]
and tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you
tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you, my love
[chorus]
but, why would we be strangers now?
why would you walk away at this time?
we’ve come a long way together
so, why leave? why go away?
[spoken outro]
i waited where you left me
the place where we used to talk
i kept the lamp burning — hoping you’d remember the way home
i saw you smile at shadows that never cared for you
i saw you give what i gave you to those who broke you
and still, i stood there
still, i watched
still, i loved
every tear you hid fell upon my heart like thunder
every “why” you whispered, i heard
but i wanted you to trust — just one more day
one more prayer
one more step
you called me faithful once
and i still am
i still am
[voice breaks slightly, softer]
if only you knew what i prepared…
if only you knew what tomorrow held…
you’d have waited
you’d have stayed
but i’ll keep waiting here —
right where you left me —
because love like mine doesn’t walk away
[pre*chorus]
and tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you
tell me what i didn’t do for you
tell me where i didn’t go for you, my love
[chorus]
but, why would we be strangers now?
why would you walk away at this time?
we’ve come a long way together
so, why leave? why go away?
