  • 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
    And I think some way you'll make it through
    You don't know how to take it
    Sometimes you're a stranger to me
    One of a kind

    There were times and lots of laughter
    And you felt you understood
    We were carefree, open and honest
    Loving, easy, kind and true
    And I suppose you never doubted
    That we were altogether fine
    You never really knew my mind
    You never really knew my mind

    My silence holds
    Secrets find
    I answer but don't answer
    You did not see me well enough to recognize the signs
    You didn't want to know this
    But know that it was over
    I did not see you well enough to recognize the signs

    And there were times and lots of laughter
    And you felt you understood
    We were carefree, open and honest
    Loving, easy, kind and true
    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

    Yeah
    Uh uh

    And I suppose you never doubted
    That we were altogether fine
    Sometimes I'm a stranger to you
    Sometimes you're a stranger to me
    Sometimes, maybe all the time
    You never really knew my mind
    I never really knew your mind Writer/s: Christopher Cornell, John Cash
