Stranger I Once Knew Ilse DeLange

[Verse 1]
I knew this moment would come along
Felt somethin' change quite early on
Honestly, I think I remember when
I guess I just kept lookin' for the reasons I'd be wrong
Ignored the warning signs, it was easy to pretend

[Chorus]
Was I wrong to say that I loved ya
Even though I know that was true?
Wish I could've kept my distance then
And you wouldn't be the stranger I once knew
Stranger I once knew

[Verse 2]
I tend to say the same old lines
Over and over from time to time
Blind by pictures drawn up in my mind
Wish love could be as simple as one and one is two
Just as forever would be us, just all the time

[Chorus]
Now, was I wrong to say that I loved ya
Even though I know that was true?
Wish I could've kept my distance then
And you wouldn't be the stranger I once knew
Stranger I once knew
