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 which time could not 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
So now I lay alone and wonder why
I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams that won't come true
I can see where I have fallen short of the things I promised you
I can see now through these tear-filled eyes no love on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place
No I just can't see a stranger in my place
