Stay up-to-date with Phil Collins:

Lyrics
You called me from the room in your hotel
All full of romance for someone that you met
And telling me how sorry you were, leaving so soon
And that you miss me sometimes when you're alone in your room
Do I feel lonely too?

You have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
I can't go on just holding on to times
Now that we're living separate lives

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me, well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we're living (living)
Separate lives

Ooh, it's so typical, love leads to isolation
So you build that wall (build that wall)
Yes, you build that wall (build that wall)
And you make it stronger

Well you have no right to ask me how I feel
You have no right to speak to me so kind
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Separate lives

I once commented on Marilyn's Facebook that I wish she'd sing the song live with Phil and here's her reply: "From your lips to God's ears...I would LOVE to finally sing Separate Lives with Phil live on stage. We sang our parts separately for the recording. Life is full of miracles, maybe that will be one of them. Thanks!"

Between this and Against All Odds, Phil Collins covered most of my teenage heartbreak.

completely beautiful song. Nothing these days comes even

[dudedaddydaycare]

Phil is an extraordinarily underrated singer and songwriter. Marilyn Martin’s voice is sublime here and amplifies the heartache and anguish of the song. One of the best duets of all time. Truly.

Phil Collins is a musical genius. So lucky to have lived through this era of brilliant music.

It's December 2022, and this song is just as raw as it was in 1985. I love this song so much.

[biancadimmi]

In 1985, my heart was broken by my first true love and I played this song endlessly, over and over, wallowing in the pain, like a typical teenager. Didn’t know that there was any other way to grieve. To this day, when I hear it, or even think of it, my heart aches.

WHEN YOU GET YOUR HEART BROKEN.... YOU UNDERSTAND MUSIC IN A DIFFERENT WAY, , , .;;;.

[toyoyoyo]

Listening to this song 40 years later...and it's better than ever

[emilymusick]

Music like this is what we need in this negative cold world! Romance needs a comeback!!!

[stroodle]

A stunning song. The lyrics are simply the best. The line "You have no right to ask me how I feel " moves me every time.

[gemini]

Its not the goodbye that hurts but the memories that follows

[inaccache]

A sad fact: " When you're happy, you enjoy the music. But when you're sad, you understand the lyrics "

[stefanoperoni]

I'm not the only one who still loves this song in 2021, am I?

[bleep]

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.

April 2024.. anyone still listening ?
I like this song since 1985

[kevinedmonds]

Beautiful duet. Like a comet, one of the final shining moments of the eighties magic. Phil is legendary.

You have no right to ask me how I feel

[svliet]
