Stranger In The House Lyrics

I never thought I'd see you sitting in that chair

The light still in your eyes

And it comes as some surprise

All the animosity was simply a disguise

But all I ever wanted

Was to make you smile

Now as the years go by I grow to be more like you

When the child becomes a man

The father does all that he can

And I know things didn't go exactly as you planned

But all I ever wanted

Was to understand

There's a stranger in the house

There's a stranger in the house

There's a memory of a time

And the meeting of two minds

And a kind of deception going down

That I don't buy

But I still cry

And now I've lived without you longer than I knew you

In the blinking of an eye

Your life has passed you by

And I know we never really saw things eye to eye

But all I ever wanted

Was to say goodbye

There's a stranger in the house

There's a stranger in the house

There's a memory of a time

And the meeting of two minds

And a kind of deception going down

That gets me high

But I still cry

I still cry
