Stranger in the House
Echoes of Estrangement: Unveiling the Ghost Within
Lyrics
This never was one of the great romances
This relationship was never one of the great romances.
But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes
Although I expected you to always have the innocence of a young girl in your eyes.
But now they look in tired and bitter glances
Now, your eyes reflect tiredness and bitterness.
At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise
People see me as a mere ghost of the man I used to be, wearing a disguise.
I get the feeling that I don't belong here
I feel out of place and unwelcome here.
But there's no welcome in the window anyway
There is no warmth or acceptance for me.
And I look down for a number on my keychain
I search for a number on my keychain, perhaps hoping for a connection.
'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday
The situation feels more like staying in a hotel every day.
There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
There's a sense that a stranger has replaced me in the house, and people notice.
But everybody says he's taken my place
Everyone claims that this stranger has taken my place.
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
The stranger in the house is invisible to everyone, hidden from view.
But everybody says he looks like me
Despite being unseen, people say the stranger resembles me.
And now you say you've got no expectations
Even though you claim to have no expectations, you miss the carefree days we had.
But I know you also miss those carefree days
Despite our disagreements, there's a shared longing for the past.
And for all the angry words that passed between us
Amidst all the arguments, there is still a lack of understanding when I express myself.
You still don't understand me when I say
Communication barriers persist, and my feelings are not fully comprehended.
There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
Similar to earlier, there's a feeling that a stranger has taken over.
But everybody says he's taken my place
Others assert that this stranger has assumed my role.
There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
The invisible stranger in the house remains hidden from view.
But everybody says he looks like me
Despite being unseen, people insist that the stranger bears a resemblance to me.
