The XX - Sunset lyrics

rate me

I saw you again, it felt like we had never met

It's like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise

And what have you done with the one I love?

When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise

I always thought it was sad

The way we act like strangers

After all that we had

We act like we had never met

We make believe, I've never seen your face, you neither mine

And catch my eye, don't register a smile

You were more than just a friend, oh but the feeling

It never came to an end, I can't bear to see you

I always thought it was a shame

That we have to play these games

It felt like you really knew me

Now it feels like you see through me

When I see you again

I'll know not to expect

Stay one step away

We will have to wait

When I see you again

And I'm greeted as a friend

It is understood

That we did all we could

I always thought it was sad

The way we act like strangers

After all that we had

We act like we had never met

I always thought it was a shame

That we have to play these games

It felt like you really knew me

Now it feels like you see through me
