Walked By A Stranger

[Verse 1]
I walked by a stranger today
But I knew the shape of her smile
She didn’t look my way
But my heart paused for a while
The world kept moving on
Like we were never anything at all
[Pre-Chorus]
She touched my soul then let it go
Now she’s just someone I used to know
Now she’s just a forgotten past
Like time erased us far too fast
[Chorus]
I walked by a stranger today
That stranger and I had memories
Of all the words we used to say
Now they echo as quiet symphonies
She’s living like we never were
While I still feel her in the blur
I walked by a stranger today
But that stranger once knew all of me
[Verse 2]
I wanted to say something small
But silence felt more true
’Cause maybe in her version
I was just a passing view
And if she looked into my eyes
Would she see the same goodbye?
[Pre-Chorus]
She touched my soul then let it go
Now she’s just someone I used to know
Now she’s just a forgotten past
Like time erased us far too fast
[Chorus]
I walked by a stranger today
That stranger and I had memories
Of all the words we used to say
Now they echo as quiet symphonies
She’s living like we never were
While I still feel her in the blur
I walked by a stranger today
But that stranger once knew all of me
[Interlude - Person whistling the chorus melody softly]
[Bridge]
And I wonder if she misses it
The weight, the love, the fall
Or was I just a chapter
One she won’t ever recall?
[Final Chorus]
I walked by a stranger today
That stranger and I had memories
Of all the words we used to say
Now an echo of quiet symphonies
She’s living like we never were
While I still feel her in the blur
I walked by a stranger today
But that stranger once knew all of me
[Outro]
Even though she turned away
She’ll always be a part of me
I’ll move on, but not forget
Even strangers carry regret
I walked by a stranger today
And she still lives in my memory
