Dominic Cooper & Amanda Seyfried Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's as if you're robbing me, of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow, one of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know
One of us is crying, one of us is lying
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
(One of us is lonely), one of us is lonely
One of us is only, waiting for a call
Sorry for himself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing he had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show, one of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying, one of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead (one of us is lonely)
(One of us is lonely), one of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead

Just taking a moment to appreciate the gorgeous cinematography....lovely scene

I admire the filmmakers a great deal for exactly this reason. With the popularity of the first film and the strength of the cast and songbook, they could so easily have phoned this one in on a technical level and still have made a fortune. Instead, it was jam-packed with ambitious, creative delights just like this. Wonderful film, it really was.

Those transitions are so clever you almost don't notice how beautiful the set decor is, especially her room with it's Mediterranean blues and greens, and all the lovely detail which tells you so much about her character.

I'm just wondering how amanda still looks the same as in the first movie even tho it's been so many years
Marina Tz
Haha yeah but I feel like they kind of did her dirty with the makeup cause the matte look made her look older
Luka V
@Marina Tz yeah I mean she was only 21 and 32 when these movies were filmed. She just gave birth to her first baby before they shot the 2nd one
Marina Tz
@Luka V yes of course but I don’t know to me a matte look doesn’t suit the island esthetic. It’s probably just a me thing tho
