Stranger Than Paradise

Strange stranger than paradise
Water is turning into ice
Don't have to say it's over

You heard me saying that I
Don't want to stay around
And like a sleight of hand
You're lost while I am found

Love starting to play the game
Something was said to hide the pain
Something is changing how I feel
I don't think you see me as I am

Starting is easy I have found
In planting a seed you touch the ground
But planting the seed doesn't make it grow

I owe an explanation
You owe an open mind
But when we're both upset
The words are so unkind

I want to run away
Or cut you down to size
I don't think I can keep
Tears from my eyes

You told me all your dreams
I still believe in you
But I've got my dreams too
And I have got to go

You know this gets me down
How can you watch me turn around
Why does my leaving break your heart
I don't think you see me as I am

Starting is easy I have found
In planting a seed you touch the ground
But planting the seed doesn't make it grow

Though I can't say
I know goodbye's the only way
I try to hide but every single day
I know goodbye
Goodbye's the only way
