"A Stranger In My Place" lyrics

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 quarreled
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
And now I lie 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
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place
