Amelia Penniman - Aftermath Lyrics

The aftermath
Of your f*cking laugh
Is that I never smile quite as easily
It's in the past
But I spent the last
Year writing all of this bad poetry

If I
Could forget the way
Your eyes
Looked the night we met
A sky
Heavy with rain
You caused me so much pain

You called me soft
I called it off
We took it way too far
I never learn, do I
You pulled me down
Convinced me that to drown
With you was better than being alone, alive

If I
Could forget the way
Your eyes
Looked the night we met
A sky
Heavy with rain
You know you haunt my dreams

The aftermath
Of your f*cking laugh
Is that you woke up all the darkest parts of me
When you walk past
I turn my back
But I can't stop from looking back across the street

If I
Could forget the way
Your eyes
Looked the night we met
A sky
Heavy with rain
Can't stand to hear your name

You broke me down
Spun me all around
Our lowest lows exactly like our highest highs
I was so soft
So very lost
You found a girl who drank in all your pretty lies

If I
Could forget the way
Your eyes
Looked the night we met
A sky
Heavy with rain
I'd hate you just same

Wouldn't wish you on my own worst enemy
Said please be gentle and you laughed at me
Tried to move on but you still cling to me
Maybe one more prayer will do it, will set me free
Maybe one more prayer will do it, will set you free
Maybe one more prayer will do it, will set me free

You woke up all the darkest parts of me
I feel them cling to me
You woke up all the darkest parts of me
I feel them cling to me, I
