First we were strangers down on our luck
And both in need of a friend
We promised each other too much to live up to
And now we're strangers again

I came like a stranger and you took me in
And I felt at home in your arms
We had nothing but good times as long as the sun shines
But we just couldn't weather the storms

You came like a stranger and I took you in
And you gave me some reasons to live
I gave the good times and you gave the sunshine
Till we ran out of good things to give

Now we are strangers back down on our luck
And both in need of a friend
We promised each other too much to live up to
And now we're strangers again
