Nobody really wants this life,
No matter what they tell you, baby it's a lie
Maybe I should just pack it in
Grab my shit and not come back againWell heaven knows I've tried
It comes as no surpriseWord gets around in this one horse town
It travels faster then the, speed of sound
They take ya down fast in this townI was really hoping you would change your mind
If this is your idea of a valentineThen turn the lights down low
I don't want to watch you go
Maybe I'm better off alone
In the afterglowShining like a dimond on the hand of a bride
Lonely as an angel in a Godless skyShining like a dimond on the hand of a bride
Lonely as an angel in a Godless skyI took my chances, I was mistaken
I didn't take the roads that I should have takenBut heaven knows I've tried
It comes as no surprise
There's nothing left if me tonight
But an afterglow
