I'll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart
For all of my lovers in the present and in the dark
Every anniversary, I'll pay respects and say I'm sorry
For they never stood the chances if they could
When no one knows what it's like to be us
I've never seen the sky this color before
It's like I'm noticing everything a little bit more
Now that all the dust has settled
I rebut all my rebuttals
No one knows what it's like to be us
Strangers by nature
Strangers by nature
Will I ever get there?
Oh, I hope that someday I'll learn
To nurture what I've done
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh
Alright then, I'm ready
