[Verse 1] You came in with rain in your hair And just threw your coat over a chair Your face held something that didn’t belong Like a portrait hung a little wrong You slipped the keys in your pocket I went to the car—you forgot to lock it [Pre-Chorus] Same old ring upon your hand But something off I didn't quite understand Same sweet smile upon your lips But something in your expression slips [Chorus] Is it you beneath that face? Or did someone take your place? I know the things your hands can do But now the dog won’t come near you And I can’t help but be scared too Exactly what happened that day, you can't recall Are you even my wife at all? Or just the thing that's wearing her face? [Verse 2] You smiled at me across the table I returned it as best I was able There was a twisted look in your eye I thought any moment I would die The sharp knife gleamed in your hand What torture did you have planned? [Verse 3] I put garlic in your food that night But you ate every last bite I left the Bible on our bed You simply moved it to the nightstand instead I sat on the edge of the bed to pray You asked, “Sorry, honey, what did you say?” I traced your face while you were lost in a dream Ran my fingers along it, searching for a seam You passed every test, gave nothing away And I knew even less than I did the first day [Verse 4] You said, “You’ve been acting strange, You should see someone.” I told the doctor about you And the tests I had done. He said, “You’ve been working too hard, my friend.” I knew no one would believe me then. [Chorus] Is it you beneath that face? Or did someone take your place? I know the things your hands can do But now the dog won’t come near you And I can’t help but be scared too Exactly what happened that day, you can't recall Are you even my wife at all? Or just the thing that's wearing her face? [Outro] For better or worse, till death do us part I lie here beside you with a heavy heart If it’s really you, I’ve acted like a disgrace But if it’s not... I’m sleeping with the thing wearing your face.
