lights down low
set the mood
stage the show . . .
we're just friends
but they don't know
do they know?

colored lights
pass us by
flying high
and all around . . .

the night was a sensation;
two leaving, two coming
two trains in a station.

ball gowns
masks coming down,
magical
ethereal
fairy tale . . .


and we were there . . .

one hand on your shoulder
the other interlaced with yours.
our song's not playing,
but one second to the next
and it was all fading . . .

i look up
and all i could see
was you looking
back at me . . .
allowed myself to stare
just long enough
do i dare?
until i was thinking you're
mine, mine, mine . . .
but who am i fooling?

you're another girl's man
who am i?
who am i?
to think that i have you,
when i let you go
i let you go . . .
i don't regret it but
i should have known
what i was getting myself into
when i said we could still be friends,
guess i lied
guess i lied . . .

everyone we knew
became foggy figures
just dancing in the dark,
with the red lights low
within the glow, green-purple halo . . .

i tried to look away,
look away . . .
like i was scared
like i was fine
like you were mine
like i was well
but i was terrified . . .

should i be feeling this?
should i be feeling this now, darling? . . .
i don't know if i want to,
i don't know what it is
but i don't think i should be . . .


i look down
and all i could feel
was you looking
back at me . . .
never allowing myself to stare
long enough
do i dare?
to convince myself that you're
mine, mine, mine . . .
but who was i fooling?

you're another girl's man
another girl's man
and who am i?
who am i?
to think that i had you,
when i let you go
i let you go . . .
i don't regret it but
i should have known
what i was getting myself into
when i said we could still be friends,
guess i lied
guess i lied . . .

i want you to look at me and
love
me for me...
not just look at me and want my
body
for you

whatever they say that is false about you,
is probably true about them.

you wanted me
and i had you

we were tangible,
but we were flammable

i was careful,
but not careful enough

our connection,
was like playing with fire

you had it
or you didn't
there was no in between

we were too hot to hold,
now so cold to the touch

hands, where flames once ignited,
now frostbitten fingertips

i thought i knew you, darling
but suddenly we grew
