Nobody really wants this life
No matter what they tell you
Baby, it's a lie
I guess I could just go and pack it in
*** my * 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 than the speed of
sound They take it down fast in this town
I was hoping you would change your mind
If this is your idea of a valentine
Well, turn the lights down low
Don't want to watch you go
Maybe I'm better off alone in the afterglow
Shining like a diamond on the hand of a pride
Lonely as an angel in a godless sky
Took my chances,
I was mistaken Didn't take the roads that I should have taken
But heaven knows I've tried
It comes as no surprise
Nothing left of me tonight But an afterglow
