She doesn't kiss me on the mouth anymore 'Cause it's more intimate, than she thinks we should get She doesn't look me in the eyes anymore Too scared of what she'll see, somebody holding me When I wake up all alone And I'm thinking of your skin I remember, I remember what you told me Said that we're not lovers, we're just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all We're not lovers, we're just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all She doesn't call me on the phone anymore She's never listening, she says it's innocent She doesn't let me have control anymore I must've crossed a line, I must've lost my mind When I wake up all alone And I'm thinking of your skin I remember, I remember what you told me Said that we're not lovers, we're just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all We're not lovers, we're just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all I miss the mornings with you laying in my bed I miss the memories replaying in my head I miss the thought of a forever, you and me But all you're missing is my body, oh Said we're not lovers (we're not lovers) 'Cause we're just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all We're not lovers, we're just strangers With the same damn hunger To be touched, to be loved, to feel anything at all (anything) To feel anything at all To feel anything at all (You lost it) (You lost it) (You lost it)
