A Stranger To Me


I gave you all of seven years,
We entwined our teens
I shared my thoughts and bed with you,
Synchronizing our dreams

No one knew me better then,
I was sure no one ever could
But lust has made a joke of me,
Taking all that was good

You walked past me the other day,
You met my eyes and looked away
How can someone
I used to know so well now be
A stranger to me?

He seemed such an intriguing match,
Unaware and unattached,
Not distracted by my past,
Intoxicated shadows cast
Such a soft and smokey light,
I should've left with you that night
Though out of mind and out of sight,
The morning lit up too bright

You walked past me the other day,
You met my eyes and looked away
How can someone
I used to know so well now be
A stranger to me?

The blame's rightfully put on me
And so it is my destiny
To carry guilt around with me
Being the one at fault

You walked past me the other day,
You met my eyes and looked away
How can someone
I used to know so well now be
A stranger to me?

You walked past me the other day
And met my eyes and looked away
How can someone
I used to know so well now be
A stranger to me?
