Stranger

(album: Giant Sings The Blues - 2015)

Woke up older in my new home
The side of my bed looks like a ghost
Where nothing as good as love will ever grow
And I consoled the empty walls
Their loneliness is all my fault
Because I'm the only one who wastes away 'round here
Content to hang

Peeled back the bandage again to find
The wound I'm nursing, it ain't healed right
Still full of stink
Still full of those sad things I'll never hide
All your boxes stacked to my teeth as remainders
Of the shitty life you'd never lead
It still hurts
It still kills though I knew you'd be the one to leave

I will buy you a new house
Move you and your things in
We can sit across the table
New to fuck things up again
We'll kiss like strangers
We'll love blind
Be givers and takers
All won't be right
And I won't be your family anymore
