After All

So hard to sleep on Sunday morning

Waiting for the sun to rise

She’s underneath those tattered blankets

Wiping the sleep out of her eyes

She wakes up cold on Sunday morning

It feels like no one cares at all

Twisted reflection in the mirror looks away

there’s no mirror there at all

It’s always cold on Sunday morning

Waiting for the nurse to call

She stares into the light

realizes she is still herself

Af-ter-all

A crooked smile on all the strangers

as they do the day to day

A pale blue sky

keeps reflecting all the sadness

Waiting for someone

to make it go away

She cries and draws the shades til Monday

frustrated no one understands

She cries out loud

Won’t someone please help me

Af-ter-all

(Solo)

It’s just another cozy Sunday

she’s locked inside her prison cell

Waiting for someone

To save her from this madness

No gift of love

to save her from this hell

(Key change)

(Please take it all)

O please take it all

(Take it all away)

Someone take it all

(Take it all away)

O please take it all away

Breakdown

Hold your head up high x 5

I won’t give up, you don’t give up

I won’t give up, you don’t give up

I won’t give up, you don’t dive up

I won’t give up, you don’t give up

(Instrumental)

So hard to sleep on Sunday morning

to early for the sun to rise

She’s underneath those tattered blankets

Wiping the sleep out of her eyes

She’s walking out the door on Monday

Mommy’s come to take her home

She’s lost a thousand days

just waiting for the sunrise

Mommy has come

But shes still all alone
