Aftermath

Verse 1

I stayed past the warning signs

Called it love, called it time

Held my breath in your storms

Prayed your hands wouldn’t turn

Pre-Chorus

You said you’d change, I believed

That’s the lie I told myself to breathe

Chorus

This is the aftermath

Where the truth finally hits

I loved you hard

But I loved myself more than this

No screaming, no fight

Just the sound of me leaving at last

This is the aftermath

Verse 2

I memorized your moods

Learned what silence meant from you

I wore your damage like a dress

Till I couldn’t recognize myself

Chorus

This is the aftermath

Where the pain doesn’t lie

You don’t get me back

Just because you finally tried

Bridge

You don’t get forgiveness for realizing late

You don’t get my future because you regret

Final Chorus

This is the aftermath

I’m standing, I’m gone

You were a chapter

Not the whole damn song
