Lyrics Afterwords - The Gathering

Afterwords

Doubt is creeping
Into the seams
Words keep breaking
Tearing at the weave
We’ve seen the signs
All through the years
Torn between
Our hopes and fears
Close your eyes
Just close your eyes now
Worlds collapsing
Shattered dreams
We’re failing actors
In this final scene
Hold me now
Just hold me now, love
Love can’t save us all
Love can’t save us all
It can be ruthless
It can be cruel
Love can’t save us all
Turn the light off
When you leave
Close the door
You’re free from me
All the hurt
And all the pain
Are the afterwords
And they won’t sustain
Break these ties
Just break these ties now
Love can’t save us all
Love can’t save us all
It can be ruthless
It can be cruel
Love can’t save us all
But it can save you
