Afterglow Lyrics

So much for the time we had

Can't say it was all that bad

I want you to be happy

But I want you to be happy with me

Sometimes I think about settling down

I try not to let those thoughts hang around

But in the afterglow, they're all I've got

Well-wishing doesn't count for a lot

You've chosen where you want to go

So I'll fend for myself

Out here in the afterglow

I know you've got dreams to dream

I've never been good at coming clean

But if I hadn't wanted to see you gone

Perhaps I should have said so all along

Sometimes I wonder if we've settled down

I try not to let those thoughts hang around

But in the afterglow, they're all I've got

Well-wishing doesn't count for a lot

You've chosen where you want to go

So I'll fend for myself out here in the afterglow

Choices define us, but that's behind us

You've got to find your own voice

You want me to choose you

I just don't want to lose you

So why even give me a choice?

Sometimes I think about settling down

I try not to let those thoughts hang around

But in the afterglow, they're all I've got

Well-wishing doesn't count for a whole hell of a lot

You've chosen where you want to go

So I'll fend for myself out here in the afterglow
