Isn't it strange that you used to know me? All the highs and lows and in-betweens And now you see me and just say, "Hey" Isn't it weird that you've seen me naked? We had conversations 'bout forever Now it's 'bout the weather, okay And I just can't believe We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime Now just memories We've gone from strangers to lovers to strangers Yeah Acting like we never met Faking like we just forget We were lovers And now there's nothing left but small talk Had every inch of your skin There's nowhere your hands haven't been Ain't it funny? 'Cause now there's nothing left but small talk Isn't it wild that I know your weakness? And everybody at the party thinks That you're the best since sliced bread And isn't it awkward I got a new somebody? And honestly it'll probably be a while before we can just be friends I just can't believe We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime Now just memories We've gone from strangers to lovers to strangers (Small talk) Acting like we never met Faking like we just forget We were lovers And now there's nothing left but small talk Had every inch of your skin There's nowhere your hands haven't been Ain't it funny?
