After All

Quietdrive · Deliverance [2008]

Hello, my friends

Here we are again

I'll promise I'll be swift

And let it end

'Cause that is a part where I can see

(That you still really love me)



After all your love is gone

Would you burn another book?

Would you tear apart

The pages of our lives?

After all your love is gone

Will I be pushing and pulling

And freaking and fighting?

And whoa, whoa



You don't even like me

You probably hate me

You know I'm a trainwreck

But I can't understand

Or listen to your demands

'Cause I'll suck it up

just like you always told me to.



After all your love is gone

Would you burn another book?

Would you tear apart

The pages of our lives?

After all your love is gone

Will I be pushing and pulling

And freaking and fighting?

And whoa, whoa



Lasting days of memory

All the lasting pain and tragedy

Of our lives, our lives

Trust in me almost every time

That the love we share

Baby, you and I

Is it love?

Then what is?

If it's love, then you won't leave me

I said you won't deny me



Baby, come back here

When your love's true

Baby, come back here

When your love's true

Baby, come back here

Are you mine?



After all your love is gone

Would you tear

Would you tear apart

The world with all our lives?



Come back here

When your love's true

Baby, come back here

When you want me to

Spend all of my love

And time on you
