Stranger Essay, Research Paper

I don’t understand

You look just like the man

In the picture by our bed

The suspense is pounding and clouding up my head

I’m checkin’ your clothes

And you wear the same size shoe

You sleep in his spot

And you’re driving his car

But I don’t know just who you are

There’s a stranger in my house

It took a while to figure out

There’s no way you could be who you say you are

You gotta be someone else

Cuz he wouldn’t touch me like that

And he wouldn’t treat me like you do

He would adore me, he wouldn’t ignore me

So I’m convinced there’s a stranger in my house

I’m not sure who you are

Don’t see your shadow around when you walk

Ain’t leavin’ no kisses

Goodbye with no words

If these walls could talk

They would have nothing to tell

So what could it be?

Is there someone imitating me?

Could she be taking my place?

Look me in the face

And tell me that I’m wrong

When I say…

There’s a stranger in my house

It took a while to figure out

There’s no way you could be who you say you are

You gotta be someone else

Cuz he wouldn’t touch me like that

And he wouldn’t treat me like you do

He would adore me, he wouldn’t ignore me

So I’m convinced there’s a stranger in my house

Pop quiz

Tell me where we first kissed

Tell me where my spot is

Tell me if I liked it, loved it

Or could it be

That the stranger is me

Have I changed so drastically?

Is it I want more for me?

And you remain the same

There’s a stranger in my house

It took a while to figure out

There’s no way you could be who you say you are

You gotta be someone else

Cuz he wouldn’t touch me like that

And he wouldn’t treat me like you do

He would adore me, he wouldn’t ignore me

So I’m convinced there’s a stranger in my house
