[Aida]

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 extravagant times, playing games we can't all win

Unintended emotional crimes take some out, take others in

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 keep your heart, May this confession be the start

​

I know you'll give me courage to face what I must face

With all these complications, in another time and place

​

[Aida, Radames]

We all lead such elaborate lives, we don't know whose words are true

An affair of the heart survives, all the pain the world can do

​

[Radames]

I'm so tired of all we're going through, I don't want to live like that

[Aida]

I'm so tired of all we're going through, I don't want to love like that

I just want to be with you, now and forever, peaceful, true
