Somewhere in the aftermath
There's something I should say
I tried too hard to hold your hand
But I'm the one who lost my way
It's all been said and done before
So there's nothing to repeat
I'm sure that I could hold you close
But I could never kiss your feet
You could never know the thoughts I had
If you'd felt what I was thinking, it wouldn't be so bad
I'm sure you would have stayed right here if you had only known
Instead you never knew what you condoned
Instead you watched life just turn to stone
Somewhere in these old mistakes
There's some place that I should be
While it's true that everyone moves on
You were never there for me
This process isn't something new
Because it's filtered out before
All the things I'll never need
I refuse to be a whore
(chorus)
Love and death, I must protest
You can't just live on happiness
Meanings crumble, turn to dust
It's hard to breathe when there's no trust
