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
