Afterall

Suicidal sunrise and the tears upon your face

It seems all that keeps you existing in this place

Are the powders and tonics after all the guests are gone

Listening to the empty telephone

And if you thought she'd listen

You would tell her one more time

How you'd bargain with the devil

Just to get her off your mind

Oh and last night's confession

As you turned off the light was that

You swore you'd never forgive time

For all it's done to you

And all you've been through

Well I say come back

But you can't see past yesterday

And I think there's more to this

But you don't hear a thing I say

I forfeit my position

Just to hear you play the blues

Well maybe this life's not so cruel

Afterall...

You wander through the minutes

And they slowly turn to hours

And the darkness that invites you

Only helps 'til you come down

And you'd like to let it go

Let it slip on through like sand

But you don't know how to save yourself

You don't know if you can

Well I say come back

But you can't see past yesterday

And I think there's more to this

But you don't hear a thing I say

I forfeit my position

Just to hear you play the blues

Well maybe this life's not so cruel

Afterall..

Maybe the clouds will part

And the sun will come out

Maybe you'll find someone

And get a brand new start

Maybe you'll open your eyes

To a different day

Maybe you'll find a way

Maybe you'll find a way

Maybe you'll find a way

You better find...
