The Lives of Others Lyrics

He left us for Chicago, he said it's warmer there I think
Last we ever heard, He found a wife and learned to drink
But she no longer loves him, he still can't pay his rent
When he tries to fall asleep at night, he wonders where it went
He says
My love, my love. What happened to our children?
My Love, my love.
My love, my love. What happened to our children?
Oh my love, my love.
She moved to Montana, she thought she found the one
He used to call her Anna, till she woke and he was gone.
She never tried to find him, she's living with the scars.
Forgetting's never easy, but it's harder when it's dark.
She says
My love, my love. What happened to our future?
My love, my love.
My love, my love. What happened to our future?
Oh my love, my love.
He drove out of Nashville, the day she passed away.
There was nothing left to keep him there, no reason he should stay.
He has no destination, he threw away the map.
Now there's no one left to talk to, just her picture on the dash.
He says
My love, my love. I wish that you were with me.
My love, my love.
My love, my love. I wish that you were with me.
Oh my love, my love.
