It's not so bright here in the afterglow
They don't tell you it's twice as hard coming home
And I can't sleep,
and when I close my eyes I see
Shadows of the end of me,
now let them get the best of me
I miss you more alone,
than the way it was before
I kissed goodbye upon the shore
I lost what I was fighting for
It's just life after the war
I wrote you a letter every day
And as it was I had something to say
I counted all the reasons I had to stand
tall And to get back to these four walls
Now I don't recognize them at all
I miss you more alone,
than the way it was before
I kissed goodbye upon the shore I lost what I was fighting for
It's just life after the war
I miss the way we danced under the
stars Your eyes lighting up the dark
I know it's not the same, but I tried so hard
I miss you more alone,
than the way it was before
I kissed goodbye upon the shore And this is life after the war
I miss you more alone,
than the way it was before
I kissed goodbye upon the shore
It's just life after the war
