Afterglow 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 s*** 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
