Alone in a room full of strangers, some dude saying I treat you bad, oh

Who is this guy and what does he know?

Apparently more than I do.

Chorus:

Fmaj7                                                  C
Time passed by, I lost my way, and didn’t find it for years

A strong, young woman now stands in your place; the child has disappeared
                G         F                         C
Now that I’m home, do you still want me here?
