Lyric

Just for a second, our eyes met on the street

You’re supposed to be a face I don’t even know

But the warmth that stayed beside me until yesterday

Is nothing more than empty air right now

The night I deleted all our chat history

I felt a strange relief that you’d never read them again

Even a "How are you?" would feel way too heavy

Being left on read is the kindest word you can send

Let’s just be perfect strangers now

Walking past each other, pretending we don't know

I don't need to practice how to fake a smile

Just passing by, that’s all we need to do

The memories of when I loved you

Are slowly fading into shades of gray

Until we become perfect strangers

How many more times must we meet like this?

Standing behind me at the checkout line

I caught the scent of your shampoo and held my breath

But I won't look back, I won't let you look back either

If I break down here, things will just get messy again

The word "Goodbye"

Is something we don't even need to say anymore

Silence is the most eloquent of all

The most cruel, and the easiest way

Let’s just be perfect strangers now

You don't even have to call my name

Even if our eyes meet, just look away

Though it still stings a little deep in my heart

Becoming perfect strangers

I never knew it could be such a quiet thing

Good job to us, and finally

Farewell, someone I used to know
