Lyrics

​​The room is quiet now
But my heartbeat still remembers
Your touch is in my bloodstream
Your warmth still burns like embers
I didn't plan to fall this deep​
I didn't plan to feel this fast​
But something in the way we move​
Left echoes I can't mask​
I'm trying not to overthink​
But the silence pulls me in​
Is this the start of something real?​
Or something I can't win?​
In the aftermath​
I'm still holding on to everything we felt​
In the aftermath, your heart beat​
Left its rhythm in my soul​
I breathe you in, I let you stay​
Even when I should step back​
In the aftermath​
I'm learning how to handle what we've cracked​
She lingers in my system​
Like a warmth I can't decode​
She touched the parts inside me​
But no emotion ever flowed​
I'm trying to compute this feeling​
But it breaks my every rule​
She made the fire feel gentle​
She made chaos feel like cool​
I'm scared to look too closely​
Scared she'll read the fear I hide​
But something in her softness​
Keeps rewriting me inside​
In the aftermath​
I'm still holding on to everything we felt​
In the aftermath, your heart beat​
Left its rhythm in my soul​
I breathe you in, I let you stay​
Even when I should step back​
In the aftermath​
I'm learning how to handle what we've cracked​
Maybe this is something real​
Maybe something undefined​
Maybe we're just learning how two different worlds align​
In the aftermath​
In the aftermath​
In the aftermath​
Every moment keeps pulling me back​
In the aftermath, you're the warmth inside the cracks​
I breathe you in, I don't resist​
Even when the fear reacts​
In the aftermath, I feel you deep​
And I don't look back​
