Lyrics Shining After Dark - The Murder of My Sweet

Shining After Dark

The bed is a mess, just like you left it
Coffee stains from your cup where it use to be
House looks the same but a deafening silence
Stuck in a moment so precious, hard to let go
What heaven gains in
Puts me in hell
Life goes on
But you, you’re gone
Too soon, too bright
You’re shining after dark
The world moves on
But I, I’m stuck
Can’t say goodbye
You’re shining after dark
Shining after dark
Shining
I lay in the dirt, right where you left me
Washing the mud from my soul but it won’t let go
A girl with no name and heart with no home
Each step that I take is one closer
To shake the disease on my own
What heaven gains in
Puts me in hell
Life goes on
But you, you’re gone
Too soon, too bright
You’re shining after dark
The world moves on
But I, I’m stuck
Can’t say goodbye
You’re shining after dark
Shining after dark
Shining
I couldn’t stop the world from turning on that day
Now all that’s left is scattered fragments of a dream
Shine on, shine bright
You said you’d never leave me
Put me in the nightmare that I’m in
How do I breathe?
Please take this empty heartbeat
It beats for nothing anyway
Now that you’re gone
Life goes on
But you, you’re gone
Too soon, too bright
You’re shining after dark
The world moves on
But I, I’m stuck
Can’t say goodbye
You’re shining after dark
Shining after dark
Shining
