Out of all the strangers I ever knew,
The one I thought I understood the best was you.

Even the things you thought, on which at first I didn't agree,
Somehow standing in your shoes, your thoughts made sense to me.

You asked questions and I would answer before you had asked,
I knew of your feelings, of both the present and the past.

I was the only one that you let see you cry,
I was the only one you took the time to explain why.

Explain why you were angry, and why you were sad,
Because I just listened, with me you didn't feel bad.

I know that much was real, you told me so.
But still for some reason, you decided to go.

You remained a stranger to me, but I was unaware,
You had been hiding things from me, the real you wasn't there.

Out of all the strangers I ever knew,
The one that I loved the most was you.

You were someone I loved, and I loved every piece of you,
But now you've become...a stranger I once knew.
