The Lives of Others - Jesse Ruben

He left us for Chicago

Said, «It's warmer there, I think»

But last we ever heard

He found a wife and learned to drink

And 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»
