[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
