Elaborate Lives (Reprise)

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 in extravagant times 
Playing games we all can't 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 and 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
