We Don’t Have to Be Strangers

We Don’t Have to Be Strangers is a bittersweet contemporary ballad about something we don't hear enough in breakup songs: two people can stop being lovers without becoming enemies. There was no betrayal. No affair. No terrible secret. Sometimes two people simply discover that the futures they want are no longer the same. Instead of holding on until love turns into resentment, they make the painful decision to let each other go—and try to preserve the friendship underneath everything they once shared. With the atmosphere of a sophisticated 1960s jazz club, We Don’t Have to Be Strangers is about mature love, difficult goodbyes, and being grateful for something beautiful even when it wasn't meant to last forever. One line says it all: “We loved enough to let it end before love turned too hard.” If you've ever had to say goodbye to someone you still cared about, I hope this song speaks to you.
