Afterglow (3rd Album)

[Verse 1]
I still feel you in this room
Though you're gone, far too soon
Memories like phantom light
Fading slow into the night

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to run, but I remain
Caught between the love and pain

[Chorus]
Empty space where you once lay
Where your voice once softly said
“I’m here with you, don’t be afraid”
Now all that’s left begins to fade

I still reach out in my sleep
But all I hold is silence deep
No one else can take your place
I’m still lost in empty space

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Every street just says your name
Every sunset feels the same
I pretend I’m doing fine
But you still live in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Tried to run, but I can’t fake
Every breath’s a new heartbreak

[Chorus]
Empty space where you once lay
Where your voice once softly said
“I’m here with you, don’t be afraid”
Now all that’s left begins to fade

I still reach out in my sleep
But all I hold is silence deep
No one else can take your place
I’m still lost in empty space

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Even stars can’t light my way
Since you took the light away

[Chorus]
Empty space where you once lay
Where your voice once softly said
“I’m here with you, don’t be afraid”
Now all that’s left begins to fade

I still reach out in my sleep
But all I hold is silence deep
No one else can take your place
I’m still lost in empty space

Empty Space

[Verse 1]
Your breath is heat beneath my skin
It pulls me closer, pulls me in
We’re speaking loud without a sound
In tangled sheets, where we are found

[Pre-Chorus]
You pull me close, I fall apart
The night is shaking with your heart

[Chorus]
We dance between the love and ache
You break me just to make me shake
Our rhythm’s rough, our hearts collide
When every breath is coming undone

The way you breathe, the way you move
You pull me deep, I can't undo
No one else can make me feel the same
'Cause you're my only flame

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Your name still lingers on my chest
Like fingerprints that never rest
Each touch you leave becomes a spark
That burns its way into the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
The darker it gets, the more I see
You’re every ache inside of me

[Chorus]
We dance between the love and ache
You break me just to make me shake
Our rhythm’s rough, our hearts collide
When every breath is coming undone

The way you breathe, the way you move
You pull me deep, I can't undo
No one else can make me feel the same
'Cause you're my only flame

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I gave you all, my breath, my mine
My fire, my pulse, my every flame
I let it go inside my soul, my core
Now all of me is yours to hold

[Chorus]
We dance between the love and ache
You break me just to make me shake
Our rhythm’s rough, our hearts collide
When every breath is coming undone

The way you breathe, the way you move
You pull me deep, I can't undo
No one else can make me feel the same
'Cause you're my only flame

Only Flame

[Verse]
I see your smile but it cuts like a blade
Every word you speak
A masquerade
Your promises break like a brittle chain
Your eyes hold a storm
But never the rain

[Chorus]
You love like a liar
Set hearts on fire
Burning bridges just to feel higher
Truth is a ghost
You’re the great denier
Oh you love
Love like a liar

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Your hands paint pictures
A perfect disguise
But every stroke is a web of lies
You dance in shadows where secrets thrive
In your mirror maze
No truth survives

[Chorus]
You love like a liar
Set hearts on fire
Burning bridges just to feel higher
Truth is a ghost
You’re the great denier
Oh you love
Love like a liar

[Instrumental]
[Back to: Verse 2, Chorus]
[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Every “I love you” is a loaded gun
Your games are a war that you’ve already won
You build a castle with cards of deceit
But the wind of truth knocks you off your feet

[Chorus]
You love like a liar
Set hearts on fire
Burning bridges just to feel higher
Truth is a ghost
You’re the great denier
Oh you love
Love like a liar

[Chorus]
You love like a liar
Set hearts on fire
Burning bridges just to feel higher
Truth is a ghost
You’re the great denier
Oh you love
Love like a liar

Like a Liar

[Verse 1]
I’ve walked a thousand miles alone
Chased the echoes, lost my home
But in the quiet of the night
I hear your voice, it pulls me right

[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to run, I tried to change
But some things time cannot rearrange

[Chorus]
I’ve wandered through a thousand skies
Chased the dawn and lost the night
I’ve tried to run from all I knew
But every road leads back to you

I’ve lost myself in distant lands
Held the world in empty hands
No matter what I say or do
I’m always coming back to you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I’ve touched the stars, then hit the ground
Searched for something I never found
But even when the skies turn grey
You’re the light that shows the way

[Chorus]
I’ve wandered through a thousand skies
Chased the dawn and lost the night
I’ve tried to run from all I knew
But every road leads back to you

I’ve lost myself in distant lands
Held the world in empty hands
No matter what I say or do
I’m always coming back to you

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I’ve wandered through a thousand skies
Chased the dawn and lost the night
I’ve tried to run from all I knew
But every road leads back to you

I’ve lost myself in distant lands
Held the world in empty hands
No matter what I say or do
I’m always coming back to you

Back to You

[Verse 1]
We’re chasing light on Route 66
Old motel signs and desert tricks
Your hand in mine, no map, no plan
Just dreams and music in the van

[Pre-Chorus]
With every mile we drift away
From who we were just yesterday

[Chorus]
We got the radio playing our song
Singing loud like nothing is wrong
California skies, burning gold
Two young hearts never growing old
Under stars that never sleep
You and I, we're running deep
On the West Coast, where love feels free
Just you and me, you and me

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Sunlight dancing on your face
We slow down but never waste
Barefoot steps on sunlit sand
Your head on mine, no better plan

[Chorus]
We got the radio playing our song
Singing loud like nothing is wrong
California skies, burning gold
Two young hearts never growing old
Under stars that never sleep
You and I, we're running deep
On the West Coast, where love feels free
Just you and me, you and me

[Instrumental]

Sunlight dancing on your face
Who we were just yesterday

[Chorus]
We got the radio playing our song
Singing loud like nothing is wrong
California skies, burning gold
Two young hearts never growing old
Under stars that never sleep
You and I, we're running deep
On the West Coast, where love feels free
Just you and me, you and me

California

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen you fall without a sound
Heard the silence when you drown
You hide your hurt behind your smile
But I’ve been watching all the while

You don’t have to say you're fine
You don’t have to cross that line
I’ll be right here by your side
When the weight’s too much to hide

[Chorus]
I’ll be your hero
When the sky falls down
I’ll hold the pieces
Till you come around
Even in your darkest hour
You can lean on me
Let me be your hero
I'll be your hero

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I know the war inside your head
The nights you wish you could forget
You try to fight it all alone
But you don’t ever have to go

I’ll be your shield when you feel small
Your quiet strength when you lose it all
Even if your hope is gone
I'll stay here and carry on

[Chorus]
I’ll be your hero
When the sky falls down
I’ll hold the pieces
Till you come around
Even in your darkest hour
You can lean on me
Let me be your hero
I'll be your hero

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I’ll be your hero
When the sky falls down
I’ll hold the pieces
Till you come around
Even in your darkest hour
You can lean on me
Let me be your hero
I'll be your hero

[Chorus]
I’ll be your hero
When the sky falls down
I’ll hold the pieces
Till you come around
Even in your darkest hour
You can lean on me
Let me be your hero
I'll be your hero

Hero
