Elaborate Lives

作曲：Elton John

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

To tell you face to face

But I could wait forever

For the perfect time and place

Such a lover of 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
