Stranger

Sitting alone on the drive back to your southern place

Thinking of all that you messed

It’s all thrown away.

You just sat back and watched as she attacked me

With words filled with just hate.

I will never forget you

Or should I say, I will never forget that face.

Dear boy

Im sorry that I was never yours.

All the tears I saw you bleed

Were your signs for wanting a way out.

But I held on too tightly, so you couldn’t leave.

Suffocating the ways we used to lead

So occupied by love, I was to blind to see

The stranger you were destined to be

All along.

The last night I saw you

I remember so clear in my brain.

We sat in my car trying to find songs to explain

The way we felt but could never actually say.

As you held me in your arms

I cried to the song that you played

And you whispered to me “everythings okay”

But as I looked up at your straight face

I just knew you weren’t the same
