What is the difference between have lived and lived?

Will have lived Vs will have been living?

The difference is one of “flavour”: ‘I’ll have lived here for 3 years’ sees ‘living here’ as something permanent, settled; whereas ‘I’ll have been living here for 3 years’ implies that the speaker might well want to move soon afterwards. The same difference applies to “I have lived here/been living here for 3 years”.

Has lived meaning?
