You build me up and make me whole again
You build me up to tear me down
You make me feel like I'm alive inside
Like a wound that slowly dies
'Cause I live and learn
I breathe and I turn away
From the bad things in life
I'm not a perfect man
Make mistakes now and then
But I hope that you understand
That in a life after you
The dark would consume me
And all of the promises made
Would be locked up and sealed in a cage
In a life after you
All the stars would fail
And the light would escape
Dead flowers upon my grave
In a life after you
I'd reveal myself to vanish all my sins
Expose my wounds and let you share my skin
I'd save your every breath to take you in
Loving you would seal my fate
'Cause I live and learn
I breathe and I turn away
From the bad things in life
I'm not a perfect man
Make mistakes now and then
But I hope that you understand
That in a life after you
The dark would consume me
And all of the promises made
Would be locked up and sealed in a cage
In a life after you
All the stars would fail
And the light would escape
Dead flowers upon my grave
Could be so easy to just hate you
To bury my anger inside
You never gave me a reason to prove
I believe we never died
In a life after you
The dark would consume me
And all of the promises made
Would be locked up and sealed in a cage
In a life after you
All the stars would fail
And the light would escape
Dead flowers upon my grave
