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 on 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 memories 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 things that make you cry

Looking back it seems

I never showed you

So now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see now

Where you might grow tired of dreams

That won't come true

I can see where I have fallen short

Of the things I promised you

I can see now through these tear filled eyes

No love on your face

I must get used to seein' strangers in my place
