I used to live my life in vain
Until today it's 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 realize
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 it's 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.
