. . . I Can't Hate You Anymore . . .


An empty room can be so deafening,
The silence makes you wanna scream,
It drives you crazy.
I chased away the shadows of your name,
And burned the picture in a frame,
But it couldn't save me.

And how could we quit something we never even tried,
Well you still can't tell me why.

We built it up,
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me,
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away,
You stole my life,

Just to find what you're looking for.
But no matter how I try,
I can't hate you anymore.
I can't hate you anymore.

You're not the person that you used to be,
The one I want who wanted me,
And that's a shame but,
There's only so many tears that you can cry.
Before it drains the light right from your eyes,
And I can't go on that way.
And so I'm letting go of everything we were,
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

We built it up,
To watch it fall.
Like we meant nothing at all.
I gave and gave the best of me,
But couldn't give you what you need.
You walked away,
You stole my life,
Just to find what you're looking for.
But no matter how I try,
I can't hate you anymore.

Sometimes you hold so tight,
It slips right through your hands.
Will I ever understand?

~A Stranger In My Life~

Sometimes I look at you and smile
With the thoughts of you, being mine..

Sometimes I look at you and cry
With the thoughts of loss, being wild..

You once told me
how there always was a return
for the true love that we yield..

Under your twisted words
I didn't know what was right or wrong
Or I pretended not to know..

The trust, the love, & the cherish
I gave to you in vain
Naively thinking I knew you like insane..

Now you say the same words
And I recalled the words you said
But they don't quite sound the same..

I look at you
Neither can I smile nor cry
Yet I see and feel an eternal darkness..

After everything I gave up for you,
A cruel intention that you had for me
Was to wonder who was sitting next to me..

And I heard myself whisper,
"A stranger in my life."
