Afterwords - The Gathering

Doubt is creeping

Into the seams

Words keep breaking

Tearing at the weave

We’ve seen the signs

All through the years

Torn between

Our hopes and fears

Close your eyes

Just close your eyes now

Worlds collapsing

Shattered dreams

We’re failing actors

In this final scene

Hold me now

Just hold me now, love

Love can’t save us all

Love can’t save us all

It can be ruthless

It can be cruel

Love can’t save us all

Turn the light off

When you leave

Close the door

You’re free from me

All the hurt

And all the pain

Are the afterwords

And they won’t sustain

Break these ties

Just break these ties now

Love can’t save us all

Love can’t save us all

It can be ruthless

It can be cruel

Love can’t save us all

But it can save you
