Scared To Live

Scared To Live - Del Amitri

Walk into the lightning

Of a midnight bulletin

Our brave new world sits smiling

With egg on its chin

And love gets so lazy love gets so slow

We stopped making love in the hours

Of daylight too many moons ago

Now that we've given

All we have to give

Maybe we're just scared to live

Since I go so blinkered to nothing else but you

I've been playing for each cheap

Reward like game show gluttons do

And love's the honest truth Babe

And love's such a beautiful lie

So don't look so confused Honey

Know it's true tonight

Now that I've given all I have to give

Maybe I'm just scared to live

Scared to live

Maybe I'm just scared to live

Scared to live

Why can't I wake up

And make something of my life

Why can't I wake up to this life

How can you have no faith

In this your own home town

Can't you practice a little discretion

Play the whole thing down

And since you got so blinkered

To the highs and lows of a hopeless thing

Maybe you can take this heart

And pass it on to him

Now that I've given all I have to give

Maybe I'm just scared to live

Scared to live

Maybe I'm just scared to live

Scared to live

Maybe you can take this heart

Maybe you can take this heart

And pass it on to him
