strangers.

I vowed to keep you warm

I held you in my arms

And I tried my best to be a man through it all

Even though it don't look like it's in the plan anymore

I won't explain a damn thing

Baby, you were supposed to change your last name

And then it came all crashing down (oh-whoa)

You were supposed to hold it down

And I was supposed to be there in the end

As your lover and a friend, but I just got one question

Is this something I did? (Baby, to us?)

What happened? Oh, baby

Don't know who we are right now

What's so different from back then?

I don't know who we are right now

I told you everything, you told me parts of you (yeah)

You gave me hell to pay, and I gave my heart to you

If that's the exchange, then I'm making a change, it's no hope in that

If it ain't the same, better off we're estranged, why hold me back? (Hold me back)

Things I heard, I can't unhear

Things I saw won't disappear

Chips are down just like your tears

We were solid through the years

And then it all came all crashing down (oh-whoa)

You were supposed to hold it down

And I was supposed to be there in the end

As your lover and a friend, and I still got one question

Is it something I did? (I don't know what happened to us, baby)

What happened? Oh, baby

Don't know who we are right now

What's so different from back then?

I don't know who we are right now

Note to self, be truthful, even when it hurts

Make love and pray often, eat healthy

Never reveal your true financial status

Read lots of books

Add color to everything you touch

And give without expecting anything in return
