Stranger In The House

We don't talk much



We don't make love like we used to



And I stay guarded



I've got walls and triggers



I never thought I had



And so do you



But this is love



And that's the way we seem content to play it



I touch your clothes when you're gone



I let your scent wash over me



You cry at night and you wish just like a child



That we were how we used to be



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago



I stonewall you, you stonewall me



But we both know that



Hiding deep inside us



Lives the love that we try hard to lose



And never will



But this is war



And that's the way we seem content to fight it



I get so angry and confused 'cause



I want out but I want you



You can't decide between moving out or moving in



You don't know what to do



With a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



And she looks like you



And he looks like me



Is this the same girl that, I fought so hard to win



And now I fight to lose her



Now I feel that it's just like skin to skin



And nerve to nerve



Strung out like wire



Is that the way we are content to live



We face off in anger



In rooms once filled with love



Looking for a chink in the armour



Where we can stab the blade



What are we thinking of



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



And she looks like somebody from a lifetime ago



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house



There's a Stranger In The House



In the house
