Stranger

It\'s hard to fall asleep
When there\'s a stranger by your side
But not just any stranger, no
I used to be his wife
We used to fall asleep as one
His fingers in my hair
Now laying here beside him
He is no longer there
How does he get to hurt me
And then rest his mind at night
Why does this pain keep me up
While he sleeps so tight
Or is he hurting too
As he tosses in his sleep
Are there demons in his head
Haunting all his dreams
I know if it were me
Who had done him wrong
You\'d never catch me sleeping
I wouldn\'t be that strong
I would hold him as his tears fell
And beg him at his feet
To forgive this wrecked heart of mine
And both of us would weep
I hope he never has to feel
What he\'s done to my heart
But what does it take for him to see
He\'s torn my life apart
