Two strangers passing on the sidewalk
Barely brush each other's hand
He says "I'm sorry"
She says "Don't worry"
And that is how it all began

A few short days and night together
And it's like they were meant to be
Lying there with her he softly whispers
Just think what we were so recently

Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
Last week we were strangers

Two strangers passing in the hallway
Barely touch each other's heart
Now they're pretending
Two shadows blending
But they're a million miles apart

Soon she'll be packing up her suitcase
They'll be dividing all the blame
They know how they started
Now empty hearted
They don't have a clue how they became

Strangers, strangers
The world greatest lovers
And now they are strangers
The world's greatest lovers
Have turned into strangers
Strangers, strangers

Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No প্রণয় remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

I saw your face when
He waltzed in here
But those old embers
Haven't burned for years
The light that's shining
In my eyes
Is for the one that
I'm with tonight

Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No প্রণয় remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

No I don't blame you
For having some doubts
But when he left me
That আগুন burned out
So don't be thinking
There's still a spark
'Cause he could never
Tear us apart

Ashes
He's nothing but ashes
No feelings have lasted
No প্রণয় remains
Ashes
That's all that our past is
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame
He's nothing but ashes
From a cold old flame

When আপনি are old and tired and gray
Wear আপনি overcoat on sunny days
When your ব্রেভ tales have all been told
I'll ask for them when আপনি are old

When আপনি are old and full of sleep
And death no longer makes আপনি weep
When your body aches with cold
I'll warm your হৃদয় when আপনি are old

You'll still be the same to me
A comfort and a mystery
And I will be old too see
I'll need someone to comfort me

When আপনি are old and pale and gone
And a gentle hand is all আপনি want
I will give আপনি mine to hold
And I'll be here when আপনি are old
Yes I will give আপনি mine to hold
And I'll be here when আপনি are old

He sits all alone in his easy chair
Staring back on his হারিয়ে গেছে yesterdays
Long before he encountered the bottle
And the demons that drove her away

In his hand he is holding her photograph
Her image all tear-stained and worn
Tonight he's embracing reality
And he curses the দিন he was born

And the darkness still echoes her warning
আপনি can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the দিন that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye

Since the ঘন্টা that she left he's been sober
And each breath that he draws makes him think
About the light of his life gone forever
When he traded her প্রণয় for a drink

And the darkness still echoes her warning
আপনি can't have two loves in your life
Now the things that will haunt him
Until the দিন that he dies
Is the smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye
The smell of cheap whiskey
And the sound of goodbye

The way আপনি treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause আপনি got হৃদয় trouble comin' on
Yeah আপনি got হৃদয় trouble comin' on
Well আপনি think that আপনি don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

আপনি say that প্রণয় can't touch you
আপনি feel no pain at all
আপনি think that you're above it baby
But I believe you'll fall
'Cause আপনি got হৃদয় trouble comin' on
Yeah আপনি got হৃদয় trouble comin' on
Well you'll get down on আপনি knees baby
Begging me to come back home

আপনি tell me you'll find someone else
But no one's gonna care
'Cause আপনি have left a trail
Of broken hearts everywhere
Now আপনি got হৃদয় trouble comin' on
Yeah আপনি got হৃদয় trouble comin' on
Well you'll know just how it feels baby
When you're left here all alone

I tried to hold our প্রণয় together
But আপনি let us fall apart
Now your leaving me for someone else
Taking what's left of my heart
But this time the pain don't feel that same
I'm not aching like I should
'Cause loving আপনি has hurt so bad
That losing আপনি feels good

I know you'll come back running to me
When the thrill is dead and gone
And আপনি realize the প্রণয় আপনি need
Was right here all along
When আপনি try to restore what we had before
There's no way আপনি ever could
'Cause loving আপনি has hurt so bad
That losing আপনি feels good

Don't get me wrong I'll still long to hold আপনি every night
But my হৃদয় can't take another break
When there's no relief in sight

I guess you're wonderin' why I haven't cried
'Cause usually I would
But loving আপনি has hurt so bad
That losing আপনি feels good

If there was a way to make আপনি stay
I wouldn't if I could
'Cause loving আপনি has hurt so bad
That losing আপনি feels good
