The Life You’ve Lived [1958 demo] Eddie Noack

[Verse 1]
You think now that you've seen the light
The world's forgot the life you've lived
And you can't understand why she's afraid of you
And though your change is plain to see
It's not easy to forgive
She can't forget the many times you've been untrue
You find each sin that you did two-by-two
You pay for one-by-one
You're asking for a love so good and true
Now that you've had your fun
A few short days cannot erase
A lifetime that's been spent in sin
You find it's hard to live down the life you've lived

[Verse 2]
The life you've lived makes people wonder
If the life you're living now
Is just a pastime or if this time, you're sincere
You thought she'd take you back so gladly
But in sorrow, you find now
That you're untrusted by the one you hold most dear
If you could live your life all over
You'd cherish every vow
You'd place no one above her
You'd live like you're living now
For years, you've taken all and now
She can't believe that you can give
You find it's hard to live down the life you've lived
