Burn Beautifully | "Talking Like a Stranger" [Emo/Alternative]

LYRICS: [Verse] I know your voice, but I don't know your tone I know your face, but you feel so alone You used to call just to hear how I've been Now I can't tell where the old you has been I keep the texts from a different time I keep the proof that we used to align I scroll back far just to feel something real Before the version of you I can't feel [Pre-Chorus] When did the warmth turn into this distance When did you build up all this resistance [Chorus] You're talking like a stranger on the phone Like all those years we shared mean nothing on your own I don't recognize the words coming out of you I'm grieving someone who's still walking through The same old rooms but they don't feel the same You're right in front of me but I don't know your name [Verse] You used to know me better than I knew myself Now your kindness sits collecting dust on a shelf I bring up moments that used to mean the world You answer flat like the meaning got hurled I ask you questions just to find the truth But I'm only finding echoes of our youth I miss the version that I used to call mine Not this stranger dressed up in your design [Pre-Chorus] When did the warmth turn into this distance When did you build up all this resistance [Chorus] You're talking like a stranger on the phone Like all those years we shared mean nothing on your own I don't recognize the words coming out of you I'm grieving someone who's still walking through The same old rooms but they don't feel the same You're right in front of me but I don't know your name [Bridge] I'm not asking for the past to come back around I'm just mourning a person I can't seem to find now You're still breathing, still standing, still somehow here But the person I loved disappeared somewhere in here [Chorus] You're talking like a stranger on the phone Like all those years we shared mean nothing on your own I don't recognize the words coming out of you I'm grieving someone who's still walking through The same old rooms but they don't feel the same You're right in front of me but I don't know your name [Outro] Maybe you're still in there, buried deep somehow Or maybe that version just doesn't exist right now Either way I'm learning how to let you go The stranger on the phone is all I'll ever know ------------------------------- Written by Chelsea Aerys.
