In the fading light of day
I remember what it meant to be
Together
You and I
I had but one self then
But now doubt has rent me
My faces two
Worn to please
The both of you
And as the sun falls from the sky
I remember how I fell, too
Fell for you
Tumbled head over heels, all of me
Fascination in your eyes so blue
Just one me then
Now i have two masks to bear
Two masks I wear
In one I love
In the other I have to pretend I Don't
Care
I ridicule, I bring your pretty curtains down
Just so I can love the other of you
My longest friend
Do you know me?
You cannot
Each of you knows
Just one face
One me
How I wish I could be one face
But love has rent me
Faces two
Worn to please
The both of you.
