SUNSET
Sunset - The xx Lyrics

I saw you again, it felt like we had never met
Meeting you again felt as if all our past experiences had vanished

It's like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise
Your eyes lost their brightness and spark, never to be rekindled

And what have you done with the one I love?
What have you done with the person who used to love me?

When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise
Your eyes show no emotion or shock as if you already know everything

We make believe, I've never seen your face, you neither mine
We pretend that we don't know each other, even though we do

And catch my eye, don't register a smile
Even if we look at each other, we don't smile or show any feelings

You were more than just a friend, oh but the feeling
Our relationship was more than friendship, but the emotions are gone now

It never came to an end, I can't bear to see you
Our relationship never had a real ending, and seeing you now is too painful

When I see you again, I'll know not to expect
When we meet again in the future, I won't have any expectations

Stay one step away, we will have to wait
We should keep our distance for now and wait for the right moment

And I'm greeted as a friend, it is understood
If we meet as friends, we know that things will never be like they used to

That we did all we could
We tried our best, but it still didn't work out

I always thought it was sad, the way we act like strangers
It's a pity that we act like we don't know each other anymore

After all that we had, we act like we had never met
Despite all our shared moments, we're pretending like we never knew each other

I always thought it was a shame, that we have to play these games
It's sad that we have to pretend like we don't care about each other

It felt like you really knew me, now it feels like you see through me
You used to understand me, but now it seems like you can read right through me
