  • I woke up this mornin' and I sat up straight in bed
    I had the strangest feeling of this weight off of my chest
    I hadn't felt that hopeful since the day that you left
    And it felt nice, so nice
    And everybody told me it would happen in time
    The fire would burn out and all the storm clouds'd subside
    And I always believed that it was some comforting lie
    But it feels nice, so nice

    'Cause I was half myself without you, now I feel so complete
    And I can't even remember what made me lose all that sleep
    I cried a million rivers for you, but that's over now
    You're just a stranger I know everything about, ooh, ooh
    You're just a stranger I know everything about

    Made a pot of coffee and I poured myself a cup
    I thought of all the things I did to try and win your love
    How did that happen? I can't imagine ever doing all that stuff for just some guy
    Like, you're just some guy
    Oh, but I hope that you're happy, babe, you know I really do
    And God knows that I am the girl I am because of you
    You know I'll always think of you, I'll love ya 'til the end of time
    You are the best thing that I'll ever keep so far out of my life

    Yeah, I was half myself without you, now I feel so complete
    And I can't even remember what made me lose all that sleep
    I cried a million rivers for you, but that's over now
    You're just a stranger I know everything about, ooh, ooh
    You're just a stranger I know everything about

    There's nothin' left for me to know
    I had to stay, you had to go
    And it was mean, but it doesn't matter anymore though
    There's nothin' left for me to sing
    I screamed, I cried, I did the whole thing
    And I loved you mad, but it doesn't matter anymore, no

    I was half myself without you, now I feel so complete
    And if I'm not enough for you, you're not enough for me
    I fought a million battles, but you can't get to me now
    You're just a stranger I know everything about, ooh, ooh
    You're just a stranger I know everything about
    You're just a stranger I know everything about Writer/s: Olivia Rodrigo
