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 mem'ries 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...
