Aftermath - Alexander Stewart

I can’t bring myself to throw out your chapstick

It still rolls around the glovebox where you left it

As stupid as it sounds

I still got it now

Cause parts of me knows

Parts of you will always regret it

If you don’t leave me in your past

I’ll always see you as my future

I can’t love just half of you

Just do what you gotta do

Let me crash

Let me burn

It’s a better kinda hurt

When it’s all

Been said and done

Maybe then I’ll give you up

Now I’m begging you for mercy

And I’m praying you’ll desert me

So promise me you’re never coming back

Leave me in the aftermath

I would spend a hundred nights alone if I had to

Maybe then I’d start to picture me without you

Cause I can’t escape the pain

It’s like I’m bleeding either way

It’s that first time that you left I’m going back to

If you don’t leave me in your past

I’ll always see you as my future

I can’t love just half of you

Just do what you gotta do

Let me crash

Let me burn

It’s a better kinda hurt

When it’s all

Been said and done

Maybe then I’ll give you up

Now I’m begging you for mercy

And I’m praying you’ll desert me

So promise me you’re never coming back

Leave me in the aftermath

You know I still love you

We both know exactly what you’re doing

Give me just enough to keep me

Coming back so there’s no moving on

Let me crash

Let me burn

It’s a better kinda hurt

When it’s all

Been said and done

Maybe then I’ll give you up

Now I’m begging you for mercy

And I’m praying you’ll desert me

So promise me you’re never coming back

Leave me in the aftermath
