Afterwards

Now you're dead and gone No loneliness, just on my own Sometimes you walk in to my room And sit and brood until I fall asleep Love is tiresome when you're older Grief and madness make you colder You still won't let anyone but you Hold on to me until it's hard to breathe Breathe Leave me First tell me how to live You were the only one I gave all of myself I love you now More than I could I've thrown away the flaws Death redeems you when you're Underneath the earth It makes me wonder About the years that came before And all the things I feel I must ignore Breathe Keep me Please let me be How I want to be I see you there Looking straight in me Judging me Loving me What I feel What I think What I want to give Oh how I want to live What I feel What I think What I want to give Oh how I want to live I want to live I am ready to live
