[Lyric] After Us (Zee Rizon)

I saved some of the things I wrote about that day
Rolled my sleeves, smiling at the ways you used to try
You think I loved somebody else just because I wanted you to be jealous
No one stayed
No one stayed

I took a sip from the warm cup with my favorite drink
Thought about all the ways we made us sink
But it wasn’t like we never fell in love again
You were afraid
Eager to turn our crumpled page

CHORUS
And now there’s room for more
Becoming the adults no one expected us to be
9 to 5, sleepless nights, hoping for a 20-second hug
Peaceful nights, not pulling our thoughts to the deepest corners of our minds
I know it may have felt like
We easily pulled the plug
But you gotta admit there’s more to life
There’s something ‘bout finding answers that makes us feel the high
Like the way you would wait at the ramp just to say hi
So when I wrote about the time we were at our lows
I’m left to wonder if seeing me made it worse

I took a sip from the warm cup with my favorite tea
Thought about all the ways these thoughts held power over me
But it wasn’t like I never fell in love again
Maybe it’s a bit late but I’m
Eager to turn this crumpled page

CHORUS
And now there’s room for more
Becoming the adults no one expected us to be
9 to 5, sleepless nights, hoping for a 20-second hug
Peaceful nights, not pulling our thoughts to the deepest corners of our minds
I know it may have felt like
We easily pulled the plug
But you gotta admit there’s more to life
