Released as Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin single, 1985



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?



You have no right to ask me how I feel

You have no right to speak to me so kind

We can't go on just holding on to time

Now that we're living separate lives



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

So now we're living (living)

Separate lives



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



Well you have no right to ask me how I feel

You have no right to speak to me so kind

Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes

But for now, we'll go on living separate lives

Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives

Separate lives
