Lyrics
Every time I kiss somebody new I
Expresses the act of kissing someone new.
Make believe I'm kissing you but oh
Imagining or pretending that the new kiss is with the person the singer truly desires.
I can't kid my aching heart 'cos
Acknowledges the singer's genuine emotional pain despite the pretense.
My heart knows we're still apart and
Recognition of the continued separation from the desired person.
Each night is like a thousand years

I wanna cry when I hear your name
Expresses the emotional pain triggered by hearing the name of the desired person.
If I cry I feel ashamed so
Feeling ashamed of crying, suggesting vulnerability.
I let my pride be my guide
Choosing pride over expressing sadness.
I keep those tears inside and
Keeping the tears hidden and internalizing the emotional turmoil.
