The Kindness of Strangers

When did the light start to fade from your eyes
And when did you start to wear your very own disguise
Was it when your father left when you were still so young
Was it when your mother left you with nothing to depend upon

But the kindness of strangers
To the kindness of strangers

And when did you start pretending that you had grown so tough
Was it when you lover told you that you were not enough
Or was it when another left you lying in the dust
Is that why you keep on giving to those who take too much

Of the kindness of strangers
Of the kindness of strangers

And you can't wait for the changes you'll make
Because nothing will change if you remain the same

And when did you start believing that you could not be loved
And when did you start the leaving of those you need the most
Was it when your father left when you were still so young
Or is it that nobody heard you cry you'd had enough

Of the kindness of strangers
Of the kindness of strangers
Of the kindness of strangers
