a stranger in my place

i see the town where we were born

i see the place we were raised

i see all the things you wanted

that i never gave. i see sadness

i see sorrow

i see pain in your face

but i just can't see

a stranger in my place. i can see now where we quarrelled

i can see now i was wrong

i can see where you might weaken

when i wasn't strong. i see mem'ries of a love gone bad

that time cannot erase

but i just can't see

a stranger in my place. no one seems to know you quite like i do

no one knows the thigs that make you cry. looking back it seems i never showed you

and now i lay alone and wonder why. i can see now where you might grow tired

of dreams that don't come true

i can see where i have fallen short

of the things i promised you. i can see now through my tear filled eyes

no love on your face

i must get used to seein'

strangers in my place.
