Afterwards

[Verse 1]
Now you're dead and gone
No loneliness, just on my own
Sometimes you walk into 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

[Chorus]
Breathe
Leave me

[Verse 2]
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 whеn you're under—
—neath thе earth, it makes me wonder
About the years that came before
And all the things I feel I must ignore

[Chorus]
Breathe
Keep me

[Bridge]
Please let me be
How I wanna be
I see you there
Looking straight in me
Judging me
Loving me
What I feel
What I think
What I wanna give
Oh, how I wanna live
What I feel
What I think
What I wanna give
Oh, how I wanna live

[Outro]
I wanna live
I am ready to live
