Stranger In The House by Elvis Costello

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

I get the feeling that i don't belong here
But there's no welcome in the window anyway
And i look down for a number on my keychain
'cause it feels more like a hotel everyday

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

And now you say you've got no expectations
But i know you also miss those carefree days
And for all the angry words that passed between us
You still don't understand me when i say

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