Life After Life Lyrics - Days Of Abandon - The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart

I still care about Christian 

Does he care about me? 

When I see him around he looks down, 

Afraid of what he'll see 

And I know there's a heaven 

That he's trying to find 

But it's hell that he makes, callous and afraid 

Of the ones he's left behind 

And the touch of his body, so tender and cruel, 

When he made me play girlfriend, 

There wasn't much I could do

He'd come to my garret, 

And we'd make something like love 

But the flowers he gave me have wilted, 

But I keep them, like I keep him 

He wants a life after life 

But the world he didn't love, 

And the one he didn't love 

Should have been 

Night after night 

But the world he didn't love, 

And the one he didn't love 

Will never know 

Paradise 

When he makes his confessions, 

When he says his prayers 

And kneels beside his bed in the moonlight, 

Is a part of me there?

He's taken up with a new girl, 

Who keeps his conscience clean, 

And tells him he's a keeper, 

Though I don't know if he knows what that means
