I'm living in two worlds dividing my time Unhappy in your world and lonesome in mine When I'm in your world I just pretend That I'm really happy though I don't fit in Then I drift in my world so cold and alone I'm living in two worlds where do I belong I'm living in two worlds... Old friends in your world are new friends to me So I can't take part in your old memories Our love shared in two worlds that don't turn the same We both have our own worlds and neither can change I'm living in two worlds...
