lirik lagu jack rootes - stranger
[intro]
as i prepare myself for these curtains to close
i think back to the person that i had once known
i have pleasant memories of us in the past
so i find it sad that we didn’t last
yet you could say i abandoned you like the others
but i couldn’t stay with your problems under covers
whether or not it’s right i take this beat for a spin
it’s time for my side of the story to begin
[verse 1]
we used to be close, you used to be my brother
we would work together, love and care like no other
always helped with your music, you flowin’ like a river
you were so kind to me, i was always a giver!
thought together our legacy would go so long
thought together you and me could do no wrong
both workaholics, making songs so rapidly
even if we fell out, the next day we’d be family
we were blood brothers, used to love and trust you!
got concerned when i heard about your drug use!
wrote a few songs, tried to build new trust
guess those songs i wrote didn’t really do much!
you used to spit fire, you were dope at it!
now you waste your life away with coke and acid
now i see if i kept you ’round, the stress’ll never stop
so if we never cross again, maybe we’ll be better off
[hook]
we had a few laughs, we had some good times
i thought that together, our legacy would rise
but after your mental state became disjointed
i didn’t get angry, just disappointed
it hurts that this is how it all ends
but there’s no use in playing pretend
you used to be my friend, that was plain to see
but nowadays, you’re nothing but a stranger to me
[verse 2]
i saw all the signs, now there’s no pretendin’
this isn’t the man that i became friends with!
we weren’t perfect, but time together was worth it
maybe in time, something cool could’ve surfaced
but fate’s such a cruel mistress
locked us in our homes, forced us to keep our distance
all the words you rhymed, used to be so uplifting
so i used to blame myself when we started drifting
but after a while, i then started to wonder
bad thoughts in my head turnin’ into thunder
you said you’re my friend, but now i reckon though
the truth was you saw me as a mere steppin’ stone
so we would work together, rappin’ all the time
then once you got what you wanted, you’d leave me behind
though there were moments where you were a nice guy
i realised then i have to go and cut ties
[hook]
[outro]
despite all the problems, i used to enjoy you
but i knew your addictions would soon destroy you
wish i didn’t have to say what i have to say
’cause it hurts to know the story ends this way
but now i see there’s no happy ever after
if i let you back in, you’d give nothing but drama
just another one that i thought i could trust
it’s not the end of the earth, just the end of us
it’s just the end of us…
