Stranger

You had your chance to make it happen

And for reasons unclear, you chose to pass

Well I hope you don’t think I’ll wait around

I’ll drop that dream like shattered glass

.. ..

When you see me on some crowded city street

You’ll frantically push to catch my eye

And maybe I will smile for a second or two

Then I will cross the street and walk on by

.. ..

I’ll be a stranger

I will be your used to be

I’ll be a stranger

And you will never have a piece of me

.. ..

You wonder what the hell you did to me

I really hope you’re smarter than you look

I’m not angry, I’m not mad or even upset

But the look on my face reads like a book

.. ..

I’ll be a stranger

Someone that you wish you could forget

I’ll be a stranger

To me, it’ll be as if we never even met

.. ..

You made me wait by the phone

Feeling so damn alone

Did you not think I’d get sick

Listening to the minutes tick

.. ..

I’ll be a stranger

So forget you ever saw my face

I’ll be a stranger

Leaving this God-forsaken place

.. ..

You will never see the danger

Of love that becomes a stranger

I love the subtle anguish of this song. I even write in one part, "I'm not angry, I'm not mad, or even upset..." It's truly a warning to wise up... if not, the future could look bleak. This song is dedicated to everyone who's ever been flaked on. =)
