Life After (Film Version)

Don't fall asleep

Is what I think when I close my eyes

I don't want to see

The life that could have been

But either way it hurts

It's hard to find the words

But I should be...

Packing up a lunchbox

In a rush to meet the school bus

And tell him it's okay

God, I miss that perfect face

You changed my course

Turned on lights in rooms

That I had always kept dark

And rearranged my heart so I can breathe again

I can't believe it happened

This wasn't how I planned it

Just the cards that I was handed

You take the weight and share it

You take my heart and carry it

You make the hard things better

You have me life after

I'm not expecting easy

But I see you and you see me

You make my heart beat faster

You gave me life after

We could make a fresh start

Send out old lives postcards

Draw me in your storyboard
