Song Lyrics

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 surprise

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 surprise
There's nothing left if me tonight
But an afterglow
