Brilliant Disguise (Remix) Lyrics

His gesture surprised me as he laid his hand in mine

His eyes opened slowly he was running out of time

The doctor said it was over there was nothing she could do

He pressed his face in the palm of my hand and then he

Asked me about you

He asked me about you

No regrets he said, I have no regrets

As the tears welled up in my eyes

And even if I had a second chance

I'd just wear a brilliant disguise

No regrets he said, I have no regrets

Not the tears or the loss or the lies

I never wanted to have a different life

But I needed a brilliant disguise

The hours passed slowly now as I tried to ease his pain

There were years of estrangement when his phone never rang

He watched me kill myself slowly with cigarettes and booze

But even in my darkest days he always

Asked me about you

He asked me about you

No regrets he said, I have no regrets

As the tears welled up in my eyes

And even if I had a second chance

I'd just wear a brilliant disguise

No regrets he said, I have no regrets

Not the tears or the loss or the lies

I never wanted to have a different life

But I needed a brilliant disguise

It always surprised me how the world can carry on

No parades or trumpets playing just another trip round the sun

He's still the man in the mirror

And I'm still the prodigal sun

But even after all this time I still can't

Believe that he's gone, I can't believe that he's gone
