| Lyrics: | 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
Chorus:
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
(Solo)
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
chorus
There's a stranger in the house, in
the house
(repeats)
