Strangers

I see your face in strangers
And my heart stops every time
I thought that was you holding her hand
In the grocery store checkout line
And I know I can't be mad
That you've moved on to someone new
But I hope she's really ugly
And isn't nice to you
I don't think I can hate someone
Who I used to think I loved
But I'm starting to resent you
For making me feel like I'm not 
Enough
