Afterglow

Take me back to days when
a nervous wreck was someone
I hadn’t met cause I just
Wasn’t there yet
But here I am…a broken man
Trying to fix myself again
I never thought I could let you in
But then you save me, and I can’t forget
I can barely feel the pain when
I’m staring at you
Every time my life explodes
you’re the perfect afterglow
I’m a father and I…I am a son
But I don’t know how to tell them I
I’ve come undone
I paint it black, torn in half
It feels like I’m under attack
It can’t get worse when it hurts this bad
But then you save me, and I can’t forget
I can barely feel the pain when
I’m staring at you
Every time my life explodes
you’re the perfect afterglow
