Drawing back the curtains[00:00:10]
Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon[00:00:13]
Here's that special silence[00:00:20]
Just before you walk out of the hotel room[00:00:22]
Each time we're so close I assume[00:00:29]
That we'll never be again[00:00:34]
Oh how long can we pretend[00:00:39]
That we're just good friends[00:00:48]
A casual affair is all that you can spare[00:00:54]
From your emotional change[00:00:58]
A calendar of meetings[00:01:04]
Strangers on the street[00:01:06]
The best we ever arrange[00:01:08]
Now I just can't stand all the pain[00:01:13]
All the constant make and mend[00:01:18]
How long must we pretend[00:01:24]
That we're just good friends[00:01:32]
I gave you my devotion[00:01:39]
Hiding nothing up my sleeve[00:01:44]
If I walked clean out of your life[00:01:49]
Would you even notice me leave[00:01:52]
So much tangled-up emotion[00:01:58]
Should I stay or should I go[00:02:03]
If I walked clean out of your life[00:02:08]
How long would it take you know[00:02:12]
Are we such good friends[00:02:16]
You used to say 'I love you'[00:02:32]
You used to say 'You make me[00:02:34]
Feel alive and young'[00:02:36]
Now we're just a habit a flavour[00:02:42]
One a month[00:02:45]
To titillate your tongue[00:02:46]
How sordid this has become[00:02:52]
As the means approach the end[00:02:56]
Oh how long can we pretend[00:03:01]
That we're still good friends[00:03:26]
