Hurting the People We Love

It's hard, when you hurt the people that you love. It's painful to imagine that she is crying, much more so because you know that it's because of you.

Stranger

I met this girl... It's the first time I met her, though I've heard her name mentioned before. Other than her name, I knew nothing about her.

But when I met her in a seminar, I found my eyes wandering in her direction. I guess, she's just my type. I can't explain it fully, but it's something in her aura, in the way she moves.

Other than that, I don't really know her that much to take things seriously. I haven't even really talked to her except for some casual greetings.

Infatuation? Maybe.

This chance meeting reminded me of the song Stranger, by Secondhand Serenade.

"Stranger"

Turn Around
Turn Around and fix your eye in my direction
So there is a connection
I can't speak
I can't make a sound to somehow capture your attention
I'm staring at perfection
Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

I'm confident
But I can't pretend I wasn't terrified to meet you
I knew you could see right through me
I saw my life flash right before my very eyes
And I knew just what we'd turn into
I was hopeing that you could see
Take a look at me so you can see

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

Take a look at me so you can see
How beautiful you are
[x4]

Your beauty seems so far away
I'd have to write a thousand songs to make you comprehend how beautiful you are

I know that I can't make you stay
But I would give my final breathe to make you understand how beautiful you are
Understand how beautiful you are

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
But all these thoughts are leaving you tonight
I'm broke and abandoned
You are an angel
Making all my dreams come true tonight

You call me a stranger
You say I'm a danger
You call me a stranger

A beautiful song for a beautiful girl.

Now that I think about it, I'm reminded of a beautiful girl... Someone I hold very dear. She's not a stranger to me, but some of the best lines on this song, I'd sing for her. So enough about th
