Just Good Friends

Drawing back the curtains Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon Here's that special silence Just before you walk out of the hotel room Each time we're so close I assume That we'll never be again Oh, how long must we pretend? A casual affair Was all that you could spare From your emotional change A calendar of greetings Strangers on the street The best we've ever arranged Now I just can't stand all the pain All the constant break and mend Oh, how long can we pretend That we're just good friends?
