Lyrics:
[Verse 1: Romy Madley Croft] I saw you again, it felt like we had never met It's like the sun set in your eyes i never want it to rise And what have you done with the one I love? When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise [Chorus: Romy Madley Croft] I always thought it was sad The way we act like strangers After all that we had We act like we had never met [Verse 2: Oliver Sim] We make believe I've never seen your face, you neither me Don't catch my eye Don't register a smile You were more than just a friend, oh, but the feeling It never came to an ending, I can't bear you seeing [Chorus: Romy Madley Croft] I always thought it was a shame That we have to play these games It felt like you really knew me Now it feels like you see through me [Bridge: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft] When I see you again I'll know not to expect Stay one step away We won't have to wait When I see you again And I'm greeted as a friend It is understood That we did all we could [Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft] I always thought it was sad The way we act like strangers After all that we had We act like we had never met I always thought it was a shame That we have to play these games It felt like you really knew me Now it feels like you see through me
