Comfort in Strangers


How much did it hurt?

How much pain did you feel?

When she looked you in the eye

And said this was never real

But big boys don’t cry

So hold back those tears

When she tries to explain

Just say that’s ok my dear


And as you walk away

You realise

That this was only ever

One big lie

And as you walk away

Throw your head to the sky

Raindrops will hide

The tears that you cry


So here we are

In the place that we met

Though six months have passed

A lot to regret

You’ll pretend you’re sorry

I’ll pretend to care

Restructured illusion

Cos I was never there


And as you walk away

You realise

That this was only ever

One big lie

And as you walk away

Throw your head to the sky

Raindrops will hide

The tears that you cry


There’s comfort in raindrops

There’s comfort in tears

There’s comfort in knowing

That once you were here

Comfort in strangers

Who smile as they pass

Comfort in knowing

That you were my last
