The Afterfall

Vance Robbins

(written on the streets of Trondheim)

 

It's an everyday occurance

To see hearts tumble down

But when there's no one there to catch them

They break when they hit the ground

 

But we pick up the pieces

And wipe the tears away

Put them back together

To break another day

The more we try to hold our hearts

The faster they will slip

And there's nothing that can help us

When we finally lose our grip

 

We can only wait and see

If our loved one feels the same

Or if they'll let our heart fall broken

As if it is a game

Then we think we've learned a lesson

And we promise to resist

But we find that it's impossible

To live alone and just exist

So when another tender moment

Crashes through the wall

We can only hope we won't be left

Living through the afterfall.
