After the Pain

from Attic Dust by Paul Bezooyen

/

about

Do we ever completely get over it when a deeply loving relationship breaks down and ends? Probably not. A small trigger can make the hurt resurface all over again.

lyrics

Time seems to stand still.
I sit alone in silence,
staring through my window into the night.
Seems like white streetlamp light
Is turning the rain to snow
I’m a voyeur,
Witness to this cycle of seasons in my life

In these moments of quiet loneliness
I find it so hard to accept
that our love was as fragile as the summer.
But crying wouldn’t keep our love from dying
anymore than crying could stop this snow from falling.
I’ll get myself together. I’ll be fine,
after the pain.

I remember us moving in here,
Sitting on cardboard boxes eating take-out chicken.
Whatever happened to all of those carefree Disney days ?
In the absence of anything guilty
And not wanting to blame myself or you
I resolve that we’re victims of circumstance and fate

Sometimes I think our love was like
A self consuming falling star
Flashing bright across the darkest sky
Crying wouldn’t keep our love from dying
Anymore than crying could stop the stars from falling
I’ll get myself together. I’ll be fine,
after the pain.

Time never stands still
I’m sitting here laughing and sucking on a beer
I got new friends and a new girl and the new car you never liked anyway
Then you and your new man
suddenly appear from out of nowhere
My adrenalin surges and emotions just slide out of control

Now our eyes meet but we look away
We find it so hard to accept
That our love was as fragile as the summer
Could trying have kept our love from dying?
Could trying have kept this snow from falling
The waitress brings another beer. I’ll be fine
After the pain
