After the Glitter Fades

from All Your Days - LP by James O'Brien

lyrics

Well, I never thought I’d make it here
But you knew I would
And I never thought I’d ever get to stay
Everything I touch seems to change to something else
And everything I want strains to slip away

Now, for me this is only life I’ve ever known
And love is just a lucky break away
Even though the living’s sometimes laced with lies
It’s all right
A feeling remains

Even after the glitter fades

Now, the loneliness of this long last stand is hard to take
We’re all chasing something
And maybe it’s a dream
Or it’s a timeless place
Or it’s rock and roll
Or did your heart break
Well, the dream keeps coming
And you don’t want to feel

Now, for me this is only life I’ve ever known
And love is just a lucky break away
And even though the living’s sometimes laced with lies
It’s all right
A feeling remains

Even after the glitter fades

Now, for me this is only life I’ve ever known
And love is just a lucky break away
Even though the living’s sometimes laced with lies
Don’t think twice
A feeling remains

Even after the glitter fades
Even after the glitter fades
Even after the glitter fades
Even after the glitter fades
Even after the glitter fades
Even after the glitter fades
