Afterwards Songtext
von Nina Nastasia

Now you′re dead and gone
No loneliness, just on my own
Sometimes you walk in to 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

Breathe
Leave me

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 when you′re
Underneath the earth
It makes me wonder
About the years that came before
And all the things
I feel I must ignore

Breathe
Keep me

Please let me be
How I want to be
I see you there
Looking straight in me
Judging me
Loving me

What I feel
What I think
What I want to give
Oh how I want to live

What I feel
What I think
What I want to give
Oh how I want to live

I want to live
I am ready to live
