A Stranger in My Place

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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 now I was wrong I can see where you might weaken when I wasn't strong I see memories 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 No one knows the things that make you cry Looking back it seems I never showed you And now I lie 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 But I just can't see a stranger in my place.
