Lyrics
When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
'Cos I've already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do.
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Oh these people I'm talking to don't understand
They don't seem to realize
They're listening but they're not hearing me
They're being too cruel to be kind
Any kind of feeling that I had is gone
'Cos I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do.
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I hope I'm gonna make up
Over and over I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me
Nothing can make me stay
Oh, 'cos you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
I know it's a crying shame, it's all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through
Never meant it to show
It started happening, that's all you know.
Oh, I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I Hope I'm gonna make up
But over and over I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay
'Cos you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you

I believe that somewhere in the world, there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to masterpieces like this song.

[@MERKAMGCLK]

A song about the divorce he went thru. Just like we did.

Música boa a gente sente no fundo do coração

[@MarciaSilva-pc3eh]

Eu já gostava de Phil..mas acredite q só agora em 2024 q descobri essa música.Acho que eu era muito criança no auge desse sucesso e não me lembrava mais.Mas acho q fica guardado em alguma memória que quando ouvi agora me apaixonei acho que de novo

Phil Collins is the most complete Artist in the world. Drummer, singer, and pianist. He can do it all.

[@paulabellamy169]

I beg to differ sadly we Lost The Greatest on Christmas Day 2016 and I will never get my head around why he died so young or that I will never see him live again. Phil Collins and Genesis were very good but no one gets close to the endless talent of GM - 🥲

[@theram4320]

This may actually be my favourite Phil song. Phil, bury the hatchet, give Chester a call and make up. He was a loyal friend and rock solid drummer for both you and Genesis for close to 30 years. Life is too short.

[@brettthebassist]

Dang didn’t know there was beef with Chester🤷🏻‍♂️

[@thunderfan77]

One of my favorite tracks from Phil's solo repertoire. This should've been a much bigger hit when he released it back in 1983. One of the best drum grooves I've ever heard, both in the studio when he laid it down, and live when Chester Thompson adds his signature on it. And the way he integrated horns into his songs was pure genius. Very underrated song.

[@m42037]

Chester is so underrated, I'm a drummer too, he really has some "in-between's" you hear that brother? I don't remember this song and I'm 56! I was 17 when this came out. I was pretty close minded back then to mostly only listening to heavy rock and metal that's why I guess.

[@fernandoalmeidadeandrade6512]

Hands down, my favorite live show by Phil! His voice was perfection and the band, especially the horn section, was fantastic!! Just wish there could be a remastered Hi-Res video and audio release.

[@IozziEric]

4:38 Phil is great even when he plays air drums...at the keyboard!

[@constanceandrew8429]

Phil Collins is one of the geniuses in music and film but his music has gripped me since I was about 8or9years old as I had a sister who was 5years older and I have a brother who is 7years older, so I was blessed growing up with the sort of good music that was about then, and still today my sister who has passed away now always played "follow you follow me, and everytime I hear it I feel it's a message from her and dear lord that makes me feel good. Will anyone give me an AMEN for my sister please 💜☀️🙏👍🏻

[@Walt_the_brave]

In this year he produced, arranged and played on Frida's (ABBA) Debut "Something going on", recorded 'Hello I must be going" did a Genesis Tour in the Summer, including a Reunion with Peter Gabriel in October. He played Drums on Robert Plant's first Solo Recording and finally went on Tour with his own marvellous Band here. Can you imagine he was "just a Drummer" a few years before?..... Genius! And one thing I have to add..especially Phil, Chester and Daryl...musicians who Play "supper's ready' and just weeks later a funky tune like this can play EVERYTHING ❤

[@marecl]

Love watching this Perkins Palace concert. It's one of my favorites. Lots of energy, emotion & fun. It's legendary Phil! ❤ His charm, sense of humor, sincerity & work pride shows throughout as it did throughout his career. I so admire & love this man. 🥰 BE HAPPY PHIL ⚘❤😘
