Scared To Live Lyrics - The B-sides: Lousy With Love - 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 

But now that we've given all we have to give 

Maybe we're just scared to live 

Since I go so blinkered to nothin' 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
