Inside your machine, I hear a whirring
Cogs and flywheels getting into gear
Once this was time to tell your secrets
Softly so that only I could hear

Strange to be this close and never touching
Moves me far away from where we are
I wish I knew what you were dreaming
And I wonder if you're showing off the scar
It's true
I know it's hard on me
It's even harder on you
It's hard
It's hard to be strangers
I send my best regards
We've both changed
And that's hard

We slept through one another's nightmares
Till we forgot what beds were for
Now we're awake and slightly shaken
We've seen what's behind the bedroom door
It's no fun
I know it's hard on me
It's hard on everyone
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard to be strangers
I send my best regards
We've both changed
And that's hard

And when you said that it was love or nothing
I didn't know the outcome was in doubt
It's true
If it's hard on me
It's even harder on you
It's hard
It's hard
It's hard that we changed
I send my best regards
We're strangers now
And that's hard
It's hard
It's hard
