There's a silence here between us I've never heard before And I can't find the love In her eyes anymore There's some changes going on I'm beginning to understand When I'm holding her I swear I feel the presence of another man [Chorus] There's a stranger in my house Somebody here that I can't see Stranger in my house Somebody here trying to take her away from me She sits staring out the window A million miles away And when I ask if she's all right She never has too much to say Is it somebody we both know Or somebody she just met Is she loving him in her mind While she's lying here in my bed [Chorus] Suspicions lead to questions And questions to alibis Is it just my imagination Or has her love turned into lies [Chorus: x2] Stranger in my house Somebody here trying to take her away from me
