After A While (Live)

[Verse 1]
With no-one on my team your heartbeat came knocking and knocked me off my feet
Your pennies took by thieves, your running jeans ain’t stopping, understandably

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you once told me I’d regret
It hasn’t happened to me yet
So maybe I’m immune to your hundred yards of sad
Maybe I’m immune to that disease you thought you had

[Chorus]
But you never learned how to speak to, to me
And after a while, a smile is not a smile
Cos kisses turn to tears

[Hook]
Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh

[Verse 2]
And when you bought your past you bought many, too heavy, and lumbеred to defeat
And whеn you paint you scrawl and when you speak you drawl, ill at ease to understand it all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And you once told me I’d lament
We drew partions in cement
Well I guess I took it hard but I said I’d persevere
I guess you heard me say that and I guess it hurt to hear

[Chorus]
But you never learned how to speak to, to me
And after a while, a smile is not a smile
Cos kisses turn to tears

[Hook]
Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ahh ah-ahh

[Outro]
After a while, a smile is not a smile
Cos kisses turn to tears
