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 how I was wrong

I can see where you might weaken but I wasn't strong

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad that time can't erase

But I just can't see a stranger in my place



No one seems to know you quite like I do

And no one knows the things that make you cry like I do

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 see a stranger in my place

I must get used to see a stranger in my place
