The Aftermath
As December Falls Lyrics

And now the fire's gone
The passion in our relationship has faded away.

With the glimmer in your eyes
With the spark that was once in your eyes.

And I wish that we hadn't
I regret the end of our relationship.

In the end I'm kind of glad
Despite my sadness, there is a part of me that is relieved it's over.

I understand we tried
I acknowledge that we put effort into our relationship.

But that's just not enough
Unfortunately, trying wasn't enough to save us.

And now we're sitting all alone
We're left alone to deal with the aftermath of our breakup.

Stuck here in the rough
Struggling to cope with the emotional aftermath of the breakup.

All this time you said you were fine
Throughout our relationship, you claimed to be okay.

And you were just falling apart
In reality, you were struggling and falling apart.

So pull me apart just to keep a piece of me
You're willing to hurt me just to hold on to a part of me.

It seems so illogical but if it's what you think you need
To you, it may seem irrational, but you believe this is what you need to do.

After everything we've been through
Despite all the things we've gone through together.

And I still can't trust you
I'm unable to trust you again after what happened.

And even though we're talking
Although we're communicating, things still feel distant and unfamiliar.

I still feel like we're strangers and I don't know you
Our connection feels lost, and it's hard to connect with you like I used to.

And we're all addicted to something
Everyone has vices and addictions they turn to for solace.

That takes away the pain
These addictions are often coping mechanisms for emotional pain.

And it was your voice that helped me
You were someone I turned to for comfort and solace.

But now nothing remains
Our connection is severed, and that source of comfort is lost to me.

And when I'm up in the clouds
During times of elation and happiness.

I didn't feel a thing
Emotionally detached and numb from the breakup.

Then when I'm down I realise
During times of sadness and depression.

Friday nights won't be the same
Mourning the loss of shared memories and experiences.

The day they let me down
The day our relationship ended and I was heartbroken.

I think they kept a piece of me
The emotional trauma of the breakup took something fundamental from me.
