A Stranger In My Place

I see the town where you were born
I see the place you 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 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 don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you
I can see now through your tear filled eyes no love on your face
I must get used to seeing strangers in my place
