I am crying for a stranger
how could this happen to me
I always was so smart so clever
I never gave myself away
but now I am crying for a stranger
a man I will never even see
whatever is happening to me

And everyone will see me cry
what happened to that smiling face
my self-esteem, my love, my life
everything in pieces... why...
can no one turn the clock around
no way to turn back it's too late
the answer is turn love to hate

I am crying for a stranger
how could this happen to me
I always was so smart so clever
I never gave myself away
but now I am crying for a stranger
a man I will never even see
whatever is happening to me

And everyone that saw me cry
made sure I knew the reason why
I had to let go my hopeless dream
it's all for the best my friends you say
but the gods are all who hear me pray
oh give that moment back to me
for I will never be the same again
