This powerful ballad delves into the complexities of a relationship that's more illusion than reality. The lyrics portray an emotional journey where two individuals are deeply entangled in a romantic scenario, falling "head over heels" for something that isn't genuine. The repeated phrase "perfect pretenders" suggests they're playing roles rather than being their authentic selves. The song also contrasts real-life relationships with those idealized in movies, highlighting the disappointment when reality doesn't match expectations. It explores the loneliness and disillusionment felt when one realizes that their partner is more interested in the idea of companionship rather than genuinely desiring them. Ultimately, it's a poignant commentary on superficial relationships and the heartache they can cause.
Strangers
Lyrics
Just like in the movies
It starts to rain and we
We're the broken beauties
Blindfolded minds collide and we fall
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end
Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Memories in photos
Too easy to rewrite
Left as lonely shadows
Holding each other tight and we fall
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our story's after the end
Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, whoa
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, whoa
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, whoa
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it, but we made up a dream
'Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, whoa
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Strangers
(Think we got it, but we made up a dream 'cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, whoa)
Perfect pretenders
(I don't want you, all you want is someone going home together to forget we're alone)
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
('Cause we've got a pretty look of what we could be, whoa)
It could never be us, eh (I don't want you, all you want is someone)
Just you and I
