Tekst piosenki 'Aftermath' wykonawcy Alexander Stewart

I can't bring myself to throw out your chapstick
It still rolls around the glove box where you left it
As stupid as it sounds, I still got it now
'Cause parts of me knows parts of you will always regret it

If you don't leave me in your past
I'll always see you as my future
I can't love just half of you
Just do what you gotta do

Let me crash, let me burn
It's a better kinda hurt
When it's all been said and done
Maybe then I'll give you up

Now I'm begging you for mercy
And I'm praying you'll desert me
So promise me you're never coming back
I would spend a hundred nights alone if I had to

Maybe then I'd start to picture me without you
'Cause I can't escape the pain
It's like I'm bleeding either way
It's that first time that you left I'm going back to

Oh, if you don't leave me in your past
I'll always see you as my future
I can't love just half of you
Just do what you gotta do

Let me crash, let me burn
It's a better kinda hurt
When it's all been said and done
Maybe then I'll give you up

Now I'm begging you for mercy
And I'm praying you'll desert me
So promise me you're never coming back
Leave me in the aftermath, oh
Leave me in the aftermath, oh

You know I still love you
We both know exactly what you're doing
Give me just enough to keep me
Coming back so there's no moving on, oh
There's no moving on, oh

Let me crash, let me burn
It's a better kinda hurt
When it's all been said and done
Maybe then I'll give you up

Now I'm begging you for mercy
And I'm praying you'll desert me
So promise me you're never coming back
Leave me in the aftermath, oh

Leave me in the aftermath, oh, oh
Leave me in the aftermath, oh
