aftermath
Axljon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Youโre the type of guy
To still have things to say
When you donโt know what to say
No matter how many times
I apologize
And you say itโs okay
We wonโt ever be the same
What wouldโve been better
That I said something
Or if I said nothing at all
We were both drunk on a late night vibe
No time will ever be the right time
To tell you how I feel so I did right then
Starting to feel weโre dividing
As I add fuel to the fire
Itโs probably no big deal
But itโs getting to my head
And I thought hardest part was over
Now Iโm dealing with the aftermath
Donโt want to come across clingy or needy
I know we said weโre still friends
But itโs feeling like an end to us
Never felt so embarrassed
To share it
I bet itโs hard to see my face
Iโll give us time and space between us
I start to wonder
What wouldโve been better
That I said something
Or if I said nothing at all
We were both drunk on a late night vibe
No time will ever be the right time
To tell you how I feel so I did right then
Starting to feel weโre dividing
As I add fuel to the fire
Itโs probably no big deal
But itโs getting to my head
I wonโt forget the look in your eyes
When I said I like you that way
I couldnโt hide it, I couldnโt fight it
Sorry itโs to your dismay
Sorry itโs you, sorry itโs me
Sorry for everything
I stabbed a hole in our friendship
And now Iโm just letting it sink
We were both drunk on a late night vibe
No time will ever be the right time
To tell you how I feel so I did right then
(So I did right then, oh)
Starting to feel weโre dividing
As I add fuel to the fire
Itโs probably no big deal
But it's getting to my head
And I thought hardest part was over
Now Iโm dealing with the aftermath
