Stranger
You saw
Every step I took
And every step you took
Away from me
Distancing yourself
Cutting ties with all I need
You watched me bleed
And you stood there
Right there
And not once
After everything
Did you reach out
And save me
From the mess you left me
Drowning in
I let you inside
Where no one had ever been
I told you things
I never believed
I could trust in anyone else's hands
It was all you
I placed this heart
In your hands
So I can't understand it
I can't even imagine
How you
How you could turn on me
And break my heart
How
After everything
You could be so cruel
So cold
And if I could stop
I would
I'd give all I had
Not love you
Miss you this much
I see you
Standing right there
And I feel it
I feel it break inside
As I break down
And you
You barely flinch
As if I'm not even there
And I'll never understand it
I'll never know
How someone
Someone who once held me so close
And whispered
How much he loved me
Could turn on me
So easily
As if
I was no more
Then a stranger
