I'm not equipped to learn
What's out there on day two
Just another bridge to cross
A portrait of me without you
I wrote a word-perfect script
But the plan has gone awry
Carved your name in stone
My name in sand, you didn't even try
The Aftermath is killing me,
Leaving me down here
You write the headlines and I'll make the news
Supposed to see red, but it's all different hues
Out on a limb with the coldest of views…
Hailed and up in bright lights
But my legend won't remain
Only a spent cartridge lays beside
More substance in the stain
What happened to family values?
Turn and run at the first chance
Backward steps down these plastic streets
The clock ticks for the last dance
Aftermath is killing me,
Leaving me down here
You write the headlines and I'll make the news
Supposed to see red, but it's all different hues
Out on a limb with the coldest of views…
Proposals are tendered
Consequences are rendered
Things aren't quite what they seem
Shame has subsided
Secrets aren't confided
Things aren't quite what they seem
Aftermath is killing me,
Leaving me down here
You write the headlines and I'll make the news
Supposed to see red, but it's all different hues
Out on a limb with the coldest of views…
