Stranger in the House

This never was one of the great romances
But I thought you'd always have those young boy's eyes
And now they look in tired and bitter glances
At the ghost of the girl who walks 'round in my disguise

I get the feeling that I don't belong here
There's no welcome at the window anywhere
And I look down for a number on my keychain
'Cause it feels more like a hotel every day

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen her face
But everybody says she's taken my place
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
But everybody says she looks like me

And now you say you've got us expectations
But I know you also miss those carefree days
And for all the angry words that come between us
Won't you please understand it when I say

There's a stranger in the house, nobody's seen her face
But everybody says she's taken my place
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
But everybody says she looks like me
Everybody says she looks like me
