Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You called me from the room in your hotel

All full of romance for someone that you met

And telling me how sorry you were

Leaving so soon

And that you miss me sometimes

When you're alone in your room

Do I feel lonely too?

[Verse 2]

You have no right

To ask me how I feel

You have no right

To speak to me so kind

I can't go on

Just holding onto times

Now that we're living (Living)

Separate lives

[Verse 3]

Well, I held on

To let you go

And if you lost your love for me

Well, you never let it show

There was no way

To compromise

And so now we're living (Living)

Separate lives

[Verse 4]

Ooh, it's so typical

Love leads to isolation

So you build that wall (Build that wall)

Yes, you build that wall (Build that wall)

And you make it stronger

[Verse 5]

Well, you have no right

To ask me how I feel

You have no right

To speak to me so kind

[Verse 6]

Some day, I might (I might)

Find myself looking in your eyes

But for now, we'll go on living

Separate lives

[Verse 7]

Yes, for now, we'll go on living

Separate lives

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Separate lives
