We Might As Well Be Strangers

I learnt a new phrase in Structure Class last Saturday. 

We might as well do something:  we should do it because there is no better alternative.  There is no reason not to do it.

Suddenly I remember one song from British band, Keane, we might as well be strangers.  Which I just realized the meaning, we should become a stranger once more because there is no better alternative, there is no reason not to do it.

It’s a confusing thing, love is.

You start from two strangers, then you realize there’s more than an ordinary feeling inside your heart, and then you become someone that so obsessive, you want that someone be yours forever, but then, when something wrong happen, both of you become strangers once more.

It’s also confusing to see some people around us, that deals with divorce, if they were so in love before, why should they separated as enemy?  Why can’t they separate as good friends, remembering they had spent much time together? I wonder if it hurts, but it must be very hurt. 

Not only divorcement, I bet two lovers that separate because some reasons also feel hurt.  To become strangers once more means to forget anything special between you two.  Letting go of feelings and memories, that must be the hardest part of holding on after the break up. But once more, we might as well be strangers, we should become a stranger once more because there is no better alternative, there is no reason not to do it, the destiny doesn’t write our name to be together, it only wrote that we should meet and then go back into our own path.

Love, might be hurt sometimes.  But then we decide who worth the hurt and the fight.   And we also decide, do we worth for the hurt and the fight?

It’s a confusing thing, love is.

I don't know your face no more

Or feel your touch that I adore

I don't know your face no more

It's just a place I'm looking for 

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a different world

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well 

I don't know your thoughts these days

We're strangers in an empty space

I don't understand your heart

It's easier to be apart 

We might as well be strangers in another town

We might as well be living in a another time

We might as well

We might as well

We might as well be strangers

Be strangers

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know of you now

For all I know
