Lyrics

[Chorus]
We were strangers
We were strangers
Away too long
Away too long
[Chorus]
We were strangers (Violent)
Away too long (Violent)
[Verse 1]
Get weak all the time
May just pass the time
[Verse 2]
Me in my own world
Yeah, you there beside
The gaps only moment
We stared from each side
[Verse 3]
We were strangers
Away too long
[Verse 4]
Violent, more violent, his hand cracks the chair
Moves on reaction, then slumps in despair
Trapped in a cage and surrendered too soon
[Verse 5]
Me in my own world, away too long (Run back to you)
[Chorus]
We were strangers, away too long (We were strangers)
We were strangers
Away too long, away too long
Written by: Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris
