Prompt / Lyrics
*(Verse 1)* I wish you stayed a stranger, Just a face in the crowd, No grand design behind us, Just the universe too loud. A careless twist of fate, Caught us in a spin, By the time it turned around, We were already in. *(Chorus)* Oh, I don’t think you were a lesson, Just a shadow in my light, You didn’t make me stronger, You left me in the night. You made me colder, heavier, Harder to reach, it’s true, I wish you stayed a stranger, I wish I never knew you. *(Verse 2)* Sometimes I replay moments, The spark that lit the flame, One small turn, one hesitation, Could’ve changed the game. If we’d never crossed the line, I’d still believe in good, Laugh without the echoes, Love without the shoulds. *(Chorus)* Oh, I don’t think you were a lesson, Just a shadow in my light, You didn’t make me stronger, You left me in the night. You made me colder, heavier, Harder to reach, it’s true, I wish you stayed a stranger, I wish I never knew you. *(Bridge)* What doesn’t kill you, they say, Is a gift wrapped in despair, But I would’ve been just fine, Without those scars to bear. You were an accident, Not fate or destiny, Just the wrong place, wrong time, A tragedy set free. *(Chorus)* Oh, I don’t think you were a lesson, Just a shadow in my light, You didn’t make me stronger, You left me in the night. You made me colder, heavier, Harder to reach, it’s true, I wish you stayed a stranger, I wish I never knew you. *(Outro)* So here’s to all the moments, That never had to be, I’d still take those late-night drives, With my heart wild and free. I wish you stayed a stranger, A ghost I'd never chase, In a world without your memory, I’d find my saving grace.
