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
