After a While (Live)

from Chronology by Bitter Ruin

/

lyrics

With no-one on my team your heartbeat came knocking and knocked me off my feet
Your pennies took by thieves, your running jeans ain’t stopping, understandably

And you once told me I’d regret
It hasn’t happened to me yet

So maybe I’m immune to your hundred yards of sad
maybe I’m immune to that disease you thought you had

But you never learned how to speak to, to me
And after a while, a smile is not a smile
Cos kisses turn to tears

And when you bought your past you bought many, too heavy, and lumbered to defeat
And when you paint you scrawl and when you speak you drawl, ill at ease to understand it all

And you once told me I’d lament
we drew partions in cement

Well I guess I took it hard but I said I’d persevere
I guess you heard me say that and I guess it hurt to hear

But you never learned how to speak to, to me
And after a while, a smile is not a smile
Cos kisses turn to tears

After a while, a smile is not a smile
Cos kisses turn to tears
