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 where we quarreled 

I can see 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 things that make you cry

And looking back it seems I never showed you

And now I lay alone and wonder why



I can see where you might grow tired of dreams

That don't come true

I can see where I have fallen short 

Of things I promised you

I can see through my tear-filled eyes 

No love on your face

I must get used to seein' strangers in my place



I must get used to seein' strangers in my place
