We all lead such elaborate lives
Wild ambitions in our sights
How an affair of the heart survives
Days apart and hurried nights
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't want to live like that
Seems quite unbelievable to me
I don't wanna love like that
I just want our time to be
Slower and gentler wiser free
We all live in extravagant times
Playing games we can't all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out take others in
I'm so tired of all
we're going through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all
we're going through
I don't want to love like that
I just wanna be with you
Now and forever peaceful true
This may not be the moment
To tell you face to face
But I could wait forever
For the perfect time and place
We all lead such elaborate lives
We don't know
whose words are true
Strangers lovers husbands wives
Hard to know who's loving who
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that
I just wanna touch your heart
May this confession
Be the start
