Lyrics
Afterwords
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
But it can save you
