Strangers

The man at the store
The man in my bed
The man who has taken control of my head

The man in this room
The man in that chair
Oh, how I want him gone
Oh, how I want him near

He kisses my lips
He holds my hand
He tries, but will never understand

He says forever
He says goodbye
All he says is one big lie

The man on my mind
The man in my heart
The man who forever tears me apart

The man who is gone
The man by my side
The man who waits on the day I die
