A lonely heart, the reason why
As we faded into black and white
You found it hard, I fell behind
There was no way of winning the fight
I'm wide awake, the morning breakes
And I can't take away the mistake
The colors burned and nothing hurt
When he pulled me closer

And I'm not crying ‘cause you let me go
And we both stopped trying in the afterglow
Ohhh
And now I know I‘m not coming home
And I don‘t feel bad to tell you so
It was all a mess and it's not personal
Maybe you should know

We can't go back
We can't go back
We can't go back
We lost it all
We lost it all in the afterglow

We lost it all in the afterglow
We lost it all in the afterglow
We lost it all in the afterglow
We lost it all in the afterglow

These days go on, the light turned dark
And I gave into a wasted heart
The hope is gone we lost that spark
And we both know is nothing we are
I'm wide awake, the morning breakes
And I dont wanna call this a mistake
‘Cause colors burned and nothing hurt
When he pulled me closer

And I'm not crying ‘cause you let me go
And we both stopped trying in the afterglow
Ohhh
And now I know I'm not coming home
And I don't feel bad to tell you so
It was all a mess and it's not personal
Maybe you should know

We can't go back
We can't go back
We can't go back
We lost it all
We lost it all in the afterglow
In the afterglow

We lost it all in the afterglow
We lost it all in the afterglow
We lost it all in the afterglow
We lost it all in the afterglow

And now I know I'm not coming home
And I don't feel bad to tell you so
It was all a mess and it's not personal
Maybe you should know

We can't go back
We can't go back
We can't go back
We lost it all
We can't go back
We lost it all
We lost it all in the afterglow
