"Afterwords" lyrics

"Afterwords"

Doubt is creeping
Into the seams
Words keep breaking
Tearing at the weave

We've seen the signs
All through the years
Torn between
Our hopes and fears

Close your eyes
Just close your eyes now

Worlds collapsing
Shattered dreams
We're failing actors
In this final scene

Hold me now
Just hold me now, love

Love can't save us all
Love can't save us all
It can be ruthless
It can be cruel
Love can't save us all

Turn the light off
When you leave
Close the door
You're free from me

All the hurt
And all the pain
Are the afterwords
And they won't sustain

Break these ties
Just break these ties now
