"Stranger"

The grandiose of deception,
Through the glass heart of her beauty.
I see his thoughts, I hear his words,
I know what he wants from you.

I feel the emptiness,
Another reflection in the pool.
A love so similar, broken.
Is what I feel from you.

Sovereignty over pain,
Is what I wish for you.
From a father to a friend,
I hope what hope cannot do.

To be a place of comfort,
Is what I offer you.
A friendly word, an awkward smile,
Enough to know my heart is true.

I ask the question,
The one so deep in my mind...
Could you love me?
Because I could love you.
