Stranger

all those years ago when i left these rolling hills
 i never looked back as you thought i would
 and you are still there just waiting for me to come home
 you've wasted so much time, destined to die alone
 as you walk by
 don't take a second glance
 i'm a perfect stranger
 just passing through
 i've burned every bridge behind me and i still do to this day
 i just don't care, i'll find another way
 and life's too short now to ever be looking back
 with empty sentiments down miles of rusting, disused track
 now as you walk by
 don't take a second glance at me
 i'm a perfect stranger
 just passing through
 i sometimes wonder if i have made the right choice
 but all i can do is stand here
 watching endless strangers pass by
 and you are nowhere to be seen
 so i turn my back and i quietly leave
 there's no storybook ending
 no prodigal son returns
