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
