I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight That little gold around the lie I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight You looked better in a strobe Than you ever did in daylight Said my name against the smoke Like you almost had it right I was leaning into trouble With my lipstick on your glass Every promise had a shimmer Every warning had a flash Now the street is cold and quiet And the bass is in my coat I can still feel every color Where your hands became a ghost Maybe I was never yours Maybe you were never mine Maybe all we really had Was a room full of borrowed shine But I keep seeing it When I close my eyes I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight You left me glowing Then you left me blind I don’t need you I need the flashback high That silver on my skin When the room went white I don’t miss the kiss I miss the way it burned bright I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight Afterlight Afterlight Gold on my skin Smoke in my eyes Afterlight Afterlight I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight Saw myself in every window In the taxi on the way back Not because you made me shine Just the flash was mine at last I don’t want another ending I don’t want another fight I just want the second after When the dark still holds the light All my friends say I look better Since I walked out of the flame But the mirror keeps the secret I was glowing before your name Maybe it was only heat Maybe it was only sound Maybe love was just the name For the lights before they drowned But I keep chasing it Through the city now I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight You left me glowing Then you left me blind I don’t need you I need the flashback high That silver on my skin When the room went white I don’t miss the kiss I miss the way it burned bright I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight Makeup on the marble Blue across the sink Last night in my lashes Glitter in the blink Maybe it was magic Maybe just the smoke Maybe I called your name When it was me that woke For one more second I was golden For one more second I was open Turn it up Let it hit me again Not your voice Just the flash at the edge Turn it up Till the room goes white I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight You left me glowing Then you left me blind I don’t need you I need the flashback high That silver on my skin When the room went white I don’t miss the kiss I miss the way it burned bright I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight Not the way you loved me The way I came alive I don’t miss you I miss the afterlight
