After The Fact

[Verse 1]
It's nice to know that when I bleed someone will clean me up
It's nice to know that when I drown someone will follow me down
If only to collect what's left inside of my pockets

[Refrain]
Yeah and after the fact you'll wish you'd helped me out

[Verse 2]
And I suppose in layman's clothes I look just like you do
The difference is when gloves come off you know that I'll bleed red
But when I break my back will you be sad about that

[Refrain]
And after the fact you'll wish you'd helped me out

[Bridge]
Cause you can only stand over my grave so long
Making sure I'm down there for good - you would
That's something you would do

[Verse 3]
But when you break your back you will be sad about that
You will bite your tongue; you'll be the lonely one

[Refrain]
And after the fact
Yeah after the fact you will wish you'd helped me out
After the fact you will wish you'd helped me out
