Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know you feel the way I change

But you can't change the way I feel

Sometimes I'm a stranger to you

One of a kind

[Verse 2]

And I think some way you'll make it

Though you don't know how to take it

Sometimes you're a stranger to me

One of a kind

[Verse 3]

There were times of lots of laughter

And you felt you understood

We were carefree open and honest

Loving easy kind and true

[Verse 4]

And I suppose you never doubted

That we were altogether fine

You never really knew my mind

You never really knew my mind

[Verse 5]

My silence cold

The secrets win

I answer but don't answer

You did not see me well enough to recognize the signs

You didn't want to notice

Or know that it was over

I did not see you well enough to recognize the signs

[Verse 6]

And there were times of lots of laughter

And you felt you understood

We were carefree open and honest

Loving easy kind and true

[Verse 7]

And I suppose you never doubted

That we were altogether fine

Then you saw the changes painfully

And you knew

You never really knew my mind

[Verse 8]

Hey

[Verse 9]

And I suppose you never doubted

That we were altogether fine

Sometimes I'm a stranger to you

And sometimes you're a stranger to me

Sometimes, baby, all the time

You never really knew my mind

I never really knew your mind
