Shining After Dark - The Murder of My Sweet

The bed is a mess, just like you left it

Coffee stains from your cup where it use to be

House looks the same but a deafening silence

Stuck in a moment so precious, hard to let go

What heaven gains in

Puts me in hell

Life goes on

But you, you’re gone

Too soon, too bright

You’re shining after dark

The world moves on

But I, I’m stuck

Can’t say goodbye

You’re shining after dark

Shining after dark

Shining

I lay in the dirt, right where you left me

Washing the mud from my soul but it won’t let go

A girl with no name and heart with no home

Each step that I take is one closer

To shake the disease on my own

What heaven gains in

Puts me in hell

Life goes on

But you, you’re gone

Too soon, too bright

You’re shining after dark

The world moves on

But I, I’m stuck

Can’t say goodbye

You’re shining after dark

Shining after dark

Shining

I couldn’t stop the world from turning on that day

Now all that’s left is scattered fragments of a dream

Shine on, shine bright

You said you’d never leave me

Put me in the nightmare that I’m in

How do I breathe?

Please take this empty heartbeat

It beats for nothing anyway

Now that you’re gone

Life goes on

But you, you’re gone

Too soon, too bright

You’re shining after dark

The world moves on

But I, I’m stuck

Can’t say goodbye

You’re shining after dark

Shining after dark

Shining
