[Verse 1]
I never should’ve called
I knew you’d leave eventually
But I didn’t think you’d do it
So cold, so easily
I never should’ve held your hand
That cold and rainy night
’Cause I knew somewhere down the line
It’d turn into another fight
Now when I look at you
I don’t recognize the truth
You know me better than I do
And still you’re halfway out the room
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me it’s not real
Say I misunderstood
Crying doesn’t look like you
But right now you look like you could
⸻
[Chorus]
Stranger—that’s all I see
When I look into your eyes
A soulmate who got too close
But wasn’t meant to stay in my life
Stranger—you know my secrets
You know exactly where to start
You pull me in, then tear me apart
A soulmate who broke my heart
⸻
[Verse 2]
I never should’ve kissed your hand
Let you get that close to me
I gave you parts I didn’t plan
Now you live inside my sleep
I never should’ve said “I love you”
You never said it back
So why am I still holding on
To something we don’t have?
Up all night on another red-eye
Wishing we never learned to fly
’Cause once you leave the ground like this
There’s no soft way to say goodbye
⸻
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Maybe say you didn’t mean it
Say it was a joke, a phase
Say nothing really has to change
Say you didn’t mean to say my name
⸻
[Chorus]
Stranger—that’s all I see
But God, you still feel like home
A soulmate I can’t unlove
Even when I’m alone
Stranger—you read me easy
Like I’m already torn apart
You hold the truth, you hold the knife
A soulmate who wasn’t mine to keep
⸻
[Bridge]
The smile you gave me
Even when you were breaking inside
We fall apart as the city goes dark
I’m in your arms, pretending I’m fine
There’s nothing you could do or say
That’d make this hurt go away
I try to leave, I try to breathe
But I can’t escape the way I love you
I don’t want to
But I love you
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Stranger—that’s all you’ll be
But you still feel like destiny
A soulmate I wasn’t meant to meet
But met anyway
I wish I could go back in time
Leave you untouched, leave you behind
Never called, never kissed, never tried
A soulmate who wasn’t meant to be mine
⸻
[Outro]
I never should’ve called…
But I still hear your voice
Not a villain, not a mistake
Just the wrong love at the wrong point
