Stranger

How can it be? Through everything you were the one who held me Now you're a stranger But what do I know All I knew to be true I have let go To myself I'm a stranger It's joy I miss I'm convinced of absolutes that don't exist My pain is this I know it's wrong To guilt you with another sad song But what can I do But plead to made up faces that look like you Saying"Don't be a stranger" What am I? But a faded constellation in your sky Why do I try? It's hard to believe That love exists outside of what I've seen Alone I dream You played along And let me know my love could be so strong Thanks for playing along I know it's true The chances it would last were far and few But what can I do But laugh at made up faces that look like you Couldn't get much stranger
