I used to live my life in vain
until today its been the same
i've gone away to disappear
my life with you was just too dear
a better life is all i need
to free me from this naughty league
i've been and gone i won't be back
i'll live my life without all that
with my own eyes i realised
it was time to say goodnight
i was never really sure but now i know i'm right
i used to live my life in vain
until today its been the same
i've gone away to reappear
my life with you was just too dear
a better life is all i need
to free me from this naughty league
i've been and gone and i won't be back
