The lyrics of the song are as follows
People pass by in a hurry on the road
No one will look back
I'm just a stranger in tears
Walking down the street
Today, I'm nothing but a stranger to you
Seeing me Walking in the rain
You won't feel sorry for me anymore
Why is it that once a heartache has become a stranger
I just want to fly with you
I don't care if it lasts forever
As long as I had it once
That's what I really think
Why is it that once a heartache has become a stranger
Love is like life that can't be repeated
These truths I've learned from my own experience.
I know this
But how can I let it go in the face of it
Now I'm just a stranger to you
Seeing me walk in the rain
You won't be able to feel for me anymore
Once I had a heartache, why did I become a stranger
All I ever wanted to do was to fly with you
The only thing I wanted was to be with you. Flying
I don't care if it lasts forever
As long as I had you
I really do
Why did my heartache turn into a stranger
Love is like life, you can't do it all over again
I know this
But how can I let it go in the face of it
They're not the only ones who can't let go of their hearts.
