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 again Well heaven knows i've tried It comes as no suprise Word gets around in this one horse town It travels faster then the, speed of sound They take ya down fast in this town I was really hoping you would change your mind If this is your idea of a valentine Then turn the lights down low I don't want to watch you go Maybe I'm better off alone In the afterglow Shining like a dimond on the hand of a bride Lonely as an angel in a Godless sky Shining like a dimond on the hand of a bride Lonely as an angel in a Godless sky I took my chances, I was mistaken I didn't take the roads that I should have taken But heaven knows i've tried It comes as no suprise Theres nothing left if me tonight But an afterglow
