Lyrics

Lovely Life

8 miles outside the city
8 miles to go
can't find any hope in my heart
can't find anything on the radio
I'm living in a world of strangers
ever since I let you go
why did I let you go

Outside the sky's electric
inside my heart's gone cold
this hand's a loser and I
believe it's time to fold
you wanted more than I could give you in the end
I hope you didn't see through me when I said

Chorus:

Have a lovely life
Have a lovely life
you deserve so much more than I could give
Have a lovely life
Have a lovely life

You wanted someone to call home
I wanted something more
I know you don't believe me
but I'm not what you're looking for
a clean break, a fast getaway
it's for the best they say
that's what they always say

Now I could stay around
but how would that be true
and where would I be if I
lost myself in you
Don't say a word don't
make me confess
just let me wish you
the very best

Chorus

8 miles outside the city
8 miles to go
can't find any hope in my heart
can't find anything on the radio
