Eyes of a Stranger

All alone now, except for the memories

Of what we had and what we knew

Everytime I try to leave it behind me

I see something that reminds me of you

Every night the dreams return to haunt me

Your rosary wrapped around your throat

I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep

I see your face looking back at me, looking back at me...

And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left of my life before me

Straight jacket memories, sedative highs

No happy ending like they've always promised

There's got to be something left for me

And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what lies behind the stare (lies behind my stare)

How many times must I live this tragedy?

How many more lies will they tell me?

All I want is the same as everyone

Why am I here, and for how long?

And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger

I've always known that the mirror never lies

People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger

Afraid to know what lies behind the stare

I remember now!
