Life After You

You build me up and make me whole again.
You build me up to tear me down.
You make me feel like I’m alive inside
Like the wound that slowly dies…
Cause I live and learn
I breathe and I turn away
From the bad things in life.
I’m not a perfect man
I make mistakes now and then
But I hope that you understand…
That in a life after you
The dark would consume me
And all of the promises made
Would be locked up and sealed in a cage
In a life after you all the stars would fail
And the light would escape
The dead flowers upon my grave.
In a life after you…
I reveal myself to vanish all my sins
I expose my wounds and let you share my skin
I save your every breath, to take you in
And loving you will seal my fate…
Cause I live and learn
I breathe and I turn away
From the bad things in life.
I’m not a perfect man
I make mistakes now and then
But I hope that you understand…
That in a life after you
The dark would consume me
And all of the promises made
Would be locked up and sealed in a cage
In a life after you all the stars would fail
And the light would escape
The dead flowers upon my grave.
It could be so easy to just hate you
To bury my anger inside!
You never gave me a reason to prove!
I believe we never died…
That in a life after you
The dark would consume me
And all of the promises made
Would be locked up and sealed in a cage
In a life after you all the stars would fail
And the light would escape
The dead flowers upon my grave.
