In a Different World Today

I gave up my life today
Asking you to stay
You left anyway
I gave up my life today,

What is there left to say
Giving my life away
You were never happy anyway
Still I asked you to stay,

Need a sanctuary far away
Where memories won't stay
Need to find another game to play
What will come what may,

Only tears silently say
The meaning of life fades away
When your lover goes astray
But it's a common thing today,

Nobody wants to stay
We're in a different world today
Is there any truth you can say?
Perhaps it's time to pray,

Why spend my life in such dismay
It seems to get better some days
What we do to each other's a disgrace
Makes me want to disappear without a trace,

Things are different today
I hear all depressed lovers say
I once thought love will find a way
Fool enough to jump into the fray,

I wouldn't listen to what others would say
Remember man was made from clay
Eve came from a rib stolen away
And with an apple he was betrayed.
