After All This Time Songtext
von Circa '94

If there′s one memory to remain
If there's one thing I had to hold onto
Out of all space and time to stick in my mind
Out of all the things I left behind, it had to be then

I remember only fragments
But the shards are more than enough
To stick into my skin when I′m breaking down
And leave me with the deepest of cuts

I just couldn't help but feel like I'd let you down
My shaking hands are gripping tight on my slipping crown
The things I never said are filling up my already full cup
And now I can′t stop these words from spilling out


That day felt like a funeral
Had I been digging the grave for years?
You told me not to carry this weight upon my shoulders
But I was too deep underneath to hear
The coffin lowered down
And to be laid to rest
Were two diamond rings that used to sparkle in the sun
And a white wedding dress

I just couldn′t help but feel like I'd let you down
My shaking hands are gripping tight on my slipping crown
The things I never said are filling up my already full cup
And now I can′t stop these words from spilling out

I don't blame you
I don′t blame you at all
It's not your fault things ended up like this
I don′t blame you
I don't blame you at all
It's not your fault things ended up like this

Peace, be at peace
Sleep, say goodbye to your blame at the very least
Piece by piece, slow release
Now turn and walk away
Pray today won′t feel the same
As yesterday
When for so long you′ve held onto
Such hollow self hate


I just couldn't help but feel like I′d let you down
My shaking hands are gripping tight on my slipping crown
The things I never said are filling up my already full cup
And now I can't stop these words from spilling out

I don′t blame you
I don't blame you at all
It′s not your fault things ended up like this
I don't blame you
I don't blame you at all
It′s not your fault things ended up like this
I don′t blame you
I don't blame you at all
It′s not your fault things ended up like this
