"Afterglow" lyrics

"Afterglow"

I'm sorry you feel disappointed and confused
I'm sorry that I was so heartless, I know it hurts
Wish I could take it back, oh take it back again
But I'd still break your heart, I'd break your heart again

I'm letting go the afterglow
To be on my own

Did you see me keeping distant? You pursued
All the signals there with nothing left to prove
Still wanna take me back? Take me back again (oh no)
Why would you take me back? I'll break your heart again (oh no)

I don't know where to go
But I can't stay here
I know my flaws were the cause
That led to break you
And I feel so heavy in my chest
When I wish you all the best
I'm letting go the afterglow
To be on my own
Again

I'm sorry that I was so heartless
Well I wish you the best
I'm letting go the afterglow

Take it back
Take it back
Take it back
Take it back

I don't know where to go
But I can't stay here
I know my flaws were the cause
That led to break you
And I feel so heavy in my chest
When I wish you all the best
I'm letting go the afterglow
To be on my own
Again
I'm letting go the afterglow
To be on my own

According to lyricist and singer Mikaila Delgado: "This song is about being emotionally unavailable in a relationship and feeling like you can't sustain it long term. It's when the initial feeling fades and the inevitable guilt and possible regret sets in."
