Afterglow
RED.M Lyrics

For awhile, to love was all we could do
At a point in time, our love for each other was the only thing that mattered in our lives.

We were young and we knew, in our eyes were alive
We were young and in love, our eyes reflected the intensity of our emotions.

Deep inside we knew our love was true
We had a deep inner conviction that our love was genuine and pure.

For awhile, we paid no mind to the past
Our focus was on the present and the future, and we did not dwell on past experiences.

We knew love would last, every night, something right, would invite us to begin the day
We were confident in the staying power of our love, and every night, we were excited about the prospect of waking up to a new day together.

Something happened along the way, what used to be happy was sad
Things changed along the way, and what used to bring us happiness now brought us sadness and pain.

And yesterday was all we had
Our memories of the past were all we had left, as the present no longer brought us joy.

How could you lead me on and not let me stay around
You gave me false hope and made me believe everything was alright, only to push me away when things started falling apart.

What used to be right is wrong, can love that's lost be found?
The things that used to be good and right in our relationship are now not working, and we wonder if it's possible to rekindle our love and make things right again.

For awhile, to love each other with all we would ever need
We believed that love was all we needed to be happy and fulfilled in life.

Love was strong for so long, never knew that what was wrong, oh, baby, wasn't right
Our love was strong and lasted for a long time, but we never realized that some of the things we were doing were wrong and causing long-term damage to our relationship.

We tried to find what we had, till sadness was all we shared, we were scared
We attempted to salvage our relationship and find the love we once had, but our efforts were fruitless, and we were left with nothing but sadness and fear for what the future held.

This affair would lead our love into something happened along the way, yesterday was all we had
Our relationship took a turn for the worse, and we were left with only memories of the past and the pain we currently felt.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, after the love has gone, what used to be right is wrong, can love that's lost be found?
Even after our love has gone, we still wonder if there's a way to fix what's broken and make things right again.
