Afterglow (3rd Album)

[Verse 1]
Fading lights, I’m standing still
The world moves on, but I feel ill
Your shadow’s dancing in the rain
Calling out my name again

[Pre-Chorus]
Every step you take feels far
But I’m still chasing where you are
I don’t need a reason why
Just don’t leave me behind tonight

[Chorus]
Take me with you, don’t let go
Through the fire, through the cold
If you run, then I’ll run too
Anywhere just to be with you

Take me with you, don’t look back
No matter what comes our way
In this life or in the blue
Darling, just take me with you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
We built a home on fragile ground
But I’d still stay when it all falls down
I’d rather break than stay apart
Than mend alone a shattered heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Every road you walk, I’ll trace
I’ll find you in the darkest place
So if you’re leaving, let me know
I’ll be the light that helps you go

[Chorus]
Take me with you, don’t let go
Through the fire, through the cold
If you run, then I’ll run too
Anywhere just to be with you

Take me with you, don’t look back
No matter what comes our way
In this life or in the blue
Darling, just take me with you

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Take me with you, don’t let go
Through the fire, through the cold
If you run, then I’ll run too
Anywhere just to be with you

Take me with you, don’t look back
No matter what comes our way
In this life or in the blue
Darling, just take me with you

Take Me

[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking through the dark
Hoping you would feel my heart
Empty rooms and sleepless nights
Wishing you were by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
Every second feels so slow
Without you, I lose control
I don’t need a million dreams
Just need you next to me

[Chorus]
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Can you stay here with me?
Stay, stay, stay, stay
I don't need anything but you
Hold, hold, hold me close
I need you here with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay
'Cause all I want is you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I still whisper to the stars
Wondering if you feel this far
Every day I miss your face
Wishing I could rewind this place

[Pre-Chorus]
Every second feels so slow
Without you, I lose control
I don’t need a million dreams
Just need you next to me

[Chorus]
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Can you stay here with me?
Stay, stay, stay, stay
I don't need anything but you
Hold, hold, hold me close
I need you here with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay
'Cause all I want is you

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
So if you're lost, just call my name
I’ll be there through every flame
We don't need to say goodbye
Not tonight, not this time

[Chorus]
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Can you stay here with me?
Stay, stay, stay, stay
I don't need anything but you
Hold, hold, hold me close
I need you here with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay
'Cause all I want is you

[Chorus]
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Can you stay here with me?
Stay, stay, stay, stay
I don't need anything but you
Hold, hold, hold me close
I need you here with me
Stay, stay, stay, stay
'Cause all I want is you

Stay Stay Stay

[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]
You hold me close, then pull away
You want me now, but not to stay
I’m caught between your black and white
Can't tell if we’re wrong or right

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done with all the in-between
Say what you want, or set me free
Don’t keep me stuck inside your maze
Just give me truth, not pretty haze

[Chorus]
Is it this or that? Just tell me now
Are we real or just burned out?
Don't play safe, don’t fade to grey
Choose your heart or walk away

[Chorus]
Is it this or that? Just tell me now
Are we real or just burned out?
Don't play safe, don’t fade to grey
Choose your heart or walk away

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
You light a spark, then kill the flame
Say you care, then shift the blame
I’m tired of dancing in your storm
Are we cold or barely warm?

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done with all the in-between
Say what you want, or set me free
Don’t keep me stuck inside your maze
Just give me truth, not pretty haze

[Chorus]
Is it this or that? Just tell me now
Are we real or just burned out?
Don't play safe, don’t fade to grey
Choose your heart or walk away

[Chorus]
Is it this or that? Just tell me now
Are we real or just burned out?
Don't play safe, don’t fade to grey
Choose your heart or walk away

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
No more maybe, no more lines
I need answers, not more signs

[Chorus]
Is it this or that? Just tell me now
Are we real or just burned out?
Don't play safe, don’t fade to grey
Choose your heart or walk away

[Chorus]
Is it this or that? Just tell me now
Are we real or just burned out?
Don't play safe, don’t fade to grey
Choose your heart or walk away

This or That

[Verse 1]
I see your smile in strangers' eyes
Your voice still echoes in the night
I tried to let you go before
But loving you just hurts me more

[Pre-Chorus]
You walked away for someone new
And left me lost in thoughts of you
You were the light I ran into
Now all I see is shades of you

[Chorus]
I know you’ll never be mine
But I still call you every night
I know you’ve gone your own way
But I still feel you when I pray
You were the light I couldn’t touch
The only one I loved too much
You moved on, and I stay here
Still loving you through every tear

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
All my nights still call your name
Rain keeps falling just the same
Roads we took have disappeared
And I still wish that you were near

[Pre-Chorus]
You walked away for someone new
And left me lost in thoughts of you
You were the light I ran into
Now all I see is shades of you

[Chorus]
I know you’ll never be mine
But I still call you every night
I know you’ve gone your own way
But I still feel you when I pray
You were the light I couldn’t touch
The only one I loved too much
You moved on, and I stay here
Still loving you through every tear

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I know you’ll never be mine
But I still call you every night
I know you’ve gone your own way
But I still feel you when I pray
You were the light I couldn’t touch
The only one I loved too much
You moved on, and I stay here
Still loving you through every tear

Still Loving You

[Verse 1]
You said it’s real, but I see the cracks
Your love was poison wrapped in glass
I fell too deep into your game
Now I don’t even know my name

[Verse 2]
I wore your lies like a second skin
You pulled me close, then let hate win
I traced your name in every scar
But love like yours won’t take me far

[Pre-Chorus]
You held me, then let me drown
Built me up just to break me down

[Chorus]
Was it fake love?
Never strong enough
You kissed me with a lie
Then watched me say goodbye
I gave you all of me
You gave me broken dreams
It’s fake love
And I’m done with you

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
I see your face in the afterglow
But all that’s left is what I know
You never stayed, just made it seem
Like I was living in a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m waking up alone
From a love I’ve never known

[Chorus]
Was it fake love?
Never strong enough
You kissed me with a lie
Then watched me say goodbye
I gave you all of me
You gave me broken dreams
It’s fake love
And I’m done with you

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
No more games, no mo-more pain
I won’t break for you again
What we had was never true
I’m finally done with you

[Chorus]
Was it fake love?
Never strong enough
You kissed me with a lie
Then watched me say goodbye
I gave you all of me
You gave me broken dreams
It’s fake love
And I’m done with you

[Chorus]
Was it fake love?
Never strong enough
You kissed me with a lie
Then watched me say goodbye
I gave you all of me
You gave me broken dreams
It’s fake love
And I’m done with you

Fake Love

[Verse 1]
We were young and wide awake
Dreams were real, not far to take
Now the sky feels cold and far
And I don't know where you are

[Pre-Chorus]
Time keeps moving, pulling fast
Moments fade, they never last
But I still see your face at night
In every shadow, every light

[Chorus]
Can we rewind the stars above?
Back to the night we fell in love
Back to the warmth, back to your eyes
Before the end, before goodbyes
Can we rewind the stars and stay
Frozen in that yesterday?
If I could turn the time around
I'd hold you close and never drown

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
I still walk the streets we knew
Looking for a sign of you
Your voice echoes in the rain
Soft and sweet, but full of pain

[Chorus]
Can we rewind the stars above?
Back to the night we fell in love
Back to the warmth, back to your eyes
Before the end, before goodbyes
Can we rewind the stars and stay
Frozen in that yesterday?
If I could turn the time around
I'd hold you close and never drown

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Even if you're gone too far
I still wish on every star

[Chorus]
Can we rewind the stars above?
Back to the night we fell in love
Back to the warmth, back to your eyes
Before the end, before goodbyes
Can we rewind the stars and stay
Frozen in that yesterday?
If I could turn the time around
I'd hold you close and never drown

[Final Chorus]
Can we rewind the stars above?
Back to the night we fell in love
Back to the warmth, back to your eyes
Before the end, before goodbyes
Can we rewind the stars and stay
Frozen in that yesterday?
If I could turn the time around
I'd never let you hit the ground

Ghost

[Verse 1]
I still feel the echo of your name
Fading out but never quite erased
We were fire lost inside the rain
Now I’m dancing through the flames

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought time would pull me through
But every night still leads to you
You're the light I used to know
Now I’m chasing your afterglow

[Chorus]
In the dark, I see your light
Every shadow burns too bright
We were stars that couldn’t stay
But your fire won’t fade away
You're gone but not alone
Still lost in your afterglow

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Your voice still lingers in the storm
Like a ghost that keeps me warm
I reach for things we’ll never be
But it’s all that’s left of me

[Pre-Chorus]
I still run when there’s no road
Holding on, but losing hope
You're the light I used to know
Now I’m chasing your afterglow

[Chorus]
In the dark, I see your light
Every shadow burns too bright
We were stars that couldn’t stay
But your fire won’t fade away
You're gone but not alone
Still lost in your afterglow

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I don’t know how to let this die
Your memory is still alive
Even when the night gets cold
You're my never letting-go

[Final Chorus]
In the dark, I see your light
Every shadow burns too bright
We were stars that couldn’t stay
But your fire won’t fade away
You're gone but not alone
Forever in your afterglow

Afterglow

[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

Welcome to my zone. Eat, sleep, music, game, repeat.
