Melanie D Poet I do not know?

Stranger

There's someone I know
Who I don't know at all
Who's watched me achieve greatness
But only recognized my falls

I can't remember, tell me, please
When was the last time I saw you smile?
The last time you've been proud
Hasn't been for a while

And I saw how you treated her
The disappointment in your face
Growing between the two of you
Was an empty dark space

I don't want that between us
I don't want another repeat
So I stay along your guidelines
And let myself be beat

But it's breaking me down
Tearing away at my heart
I'm starting to wonder
If it matters that we're apart

So I hurt at the thought
It's like a piercing knife
I face the truth that's always been:
You are the stranger in my life
