Shining After Dark

The bed is a mess just like you left it
Coffee stains from your cup where it used to be
House looks the same but a deafening silence
Stuck in a moment so precious
Hard to let go
What heaven gains in
Puts me in hell

Life goes on
But you
You're gone
Too soon
Too bright
You're shining after dark

The world moves on
But I
I'm stuck
Can't say goodbye
You're shining after dark
Shining after dark
Shining

I lay in the dirt
Right where you left me
Washing the mud from my soul, but it won't let go
A girl with no name and a heart with no home
Each step that I take is one closer
To shake the disease on my own
What heaven gains in
Puts me in hell

Life goes on
But you
You're gone
Too soon
Too bright
You're shining after dark
The world moves on
But I
I'm stuck
Can't say goodbye
You're shining after dark
Shining after dark

I couldn't stop the world from turning on that day
Now all that's left is scattered fragments of a dream
Shine on
Shine bright
Shine on
Shine bright

You said you'd never leave me
Put me in the nightmare that I'm in
How do I breathe?
Please take this empty heartbeat
It beats for nothing anyway
Now that you're gone

Life goes on
But you
You're gone
Too soon
Too bright
You're shining after dark
The world moves on
But I
I'm stuck
Can't say goodbye
You're shining after dark
