Elaborate Lives Lyrics

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 want to 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 Heather Headley - Elaborate Lives - http://motolyrics.com/heather-headley/elaborate-lives-lyrics.html

I don't want to love like that

I just want to 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 live such elaborate lives

We don't know whose words are true

Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives

Hard to know whose 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 want to touch your heart, may this confession be the start
