Afterglow
Nine Lashes Lyrics

Our story time is told
Our time together is over and behind us.

And I'm blinded by the afterglow
I'm still caught up in the wonderful memories of that time.

Can you hear me dear?
I hope you're still listening to me, even though we're apart.

Now I'm thumbing through the pages
I'm revisiting the past and remembering our time together.

Of the beautifully romantic years
I'm reminiscing about the happy and loving times we shared.

I can hear you, dear
I feel like you're still with me in spirit, and I can hear your voice.

'Cause right in front of me,
I can see you so clearly in my mind, as if you were still here.

You disappear
But then reality sets in and I realize you're gone.

You're still vanishing
Even though it's been a while, it still feels like you're disappearing from my life.

You left me here
And I'm left to navigate this world without you.

I stand here today
I'm here in the present, still struggling to move on.

So far from the same
But things have changed so much since you left that it's hard to recognize my life now.

It's hard to move on without you
I'm still struggling to come to terms with the fact that you're not here with me where you used to be.

So I've gone through these spaces left in me
In your absence, I've explored the parts of myself that I had ignored while we were together.

I'm so near to lost but I'm not
I feel like I could easily lose my way without you, but I'm still holding on.

So near to lost but I'm not alone
I'm struggling, but I'm not completely without support, even though no one can replace you.

Dear daddy don't you miss me?
I'm wondering if you miss me as much as I miss you, even though you're no longer here.

Cause in heaven there's no room for tears
But I hope that wherever you are, you are finally at peace and happy, without any sorrow.

I can feel you here
Even though you're gone, I can still sense your presence around me.

Seems forever's just too far away
It feels like it will be an eternity until we can be together again.

When we meet again
But I believe that we will meet again someday, and all the pain of this separation will be gone.

I'll remember when
I'll hold onto our memories until then, and they will sustain me through this difficult time.

Not all alone
I may feel alone sometimes, but I know that I have people who care about me and want to support me.

I'm everything but lost 'cause I'm not alone
I'm not lost, even though I'm still struggling to move on, because I still have people who love me, and I know that you're with me in spirit.
