I walked in with a suit and a smile, Feelin’ good, thought I’d stay for a while. Neon dreams and the bass hit deep, Didn’t know that trouble don’t sleep. Then she caught me with a look so cold, Pretty eyes and a heart made of gold. Played the game, now I’m losin’ control, Guess I should’ve known that story’s old. Pre-Chorus Now I’m sittin’ here countin’ what’s left, Pocket’s empty, I can’t forget. Every drink just burns like regret, And I’m askin’ myself again— Chorus Afterglow, my money’s gone, Afterglow, my heart’s all wrong. If I had my way, I’d shut this place right down. Afterglow, lights are low, Afterglow, I lost control, And all I’ve got tonight are blues that spin around. Verse 2 Bartender knows my name by now, He just laughs, says “take a bow.” Every love song cuts like a knife, Every shadow reminds me of that night. Pre-Chorus Tried to dance it off, but it won’t fade, All my hopes went down in flames. Guess the house always wins the game, And I’m the fool that love has played. Chorus Afterglow, my money’s gone, Afterglow, my faith undone. If I had my way, I’d burn this memory down. Afterglow, walls are cold, Afterglow, the story’s told, And all I’ve got tonight are blues that spin around. Bridge I was feelin’ so fine when I walked through that door, Now I’m drunk on the pain I can’t ignore. She left her lipstick on my soul, Now I’m payin’ for it all, payin’ for it all. Final Chorus Afterglow, I’m movin’ on, Afterglow, the night is gone. I’m packin’ my bags, leavin’ this lonesome town. Afterglow, I’ve had enough, Afterglow, no more tough love, I’m takin’ back my heart before it drowns. Outro Yeah… Afterglow, I’m takin’ back my life somehow.
