Taylor Swift - Afterglow Lyrics | Lover | WaoFam

Afterglow

Taylor Swift

DETAILS

Afterglow is the fifteenth song on Taylor Swift’s Lover album. It covers a particularly moving and seemingly personal fear of Swift’s: that she’s creating fights in her head and accidentally “burning down” her relationship, then fighting to keep it together.

Swift has been increasingly candid about her own insecurities and emotions in this latest album, referencing herself as “overdramatic and true” in Lover and lamenting in Afterglow, “Why’d I have to break what I love so much?”

Swift notably spelled out “After Glow” on a Scrabble board in the Lover music video.

LYRICS

I blew things out of proportion, now you’re blue

Put you in jail for something you didn’t do

I pinned your hands behind your back, oh

Thought I had reason to attack, but no

Fighting with a true love is boxing with no gloves

Chemistry ’til it blows up, ’til there’s no us

Why’d I have to break what I love so much?

It’s on your face, and I’m to blame, I need to say

Hey, it’s all me, in my head

I’m the one who burned us down

But it’s not what I meant

Sorry that I hurt you

I don’t wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh)

I don’t wanna lose, I don’t wanna lose this with you (Ooh)

I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don’t go

Meet me in the afterglow

It’s so excruciating to see you low

Just wanna lift you up and not let you go

This ultraviolet morning light below

Tells me this love is worth the fight, oh

I lived like an island, punished you in silence

Went off like sirens, just crying

Why’d I have to break what I love so much?

It’s on your face, don’t walk away, I need to say

Hey, it’s all me, in my head

I’m the one who burned us down

But it’s not what I meant

Sorry that I hurt you

I don’t wanna do, I don’t wanna do this to you (Ooh)

I don’t wanna lose, I don’t wanna lose this with you (Ooh)

I need to say, hey, it’s all me, just don’t go

Meet me in the afterglow

Tell me that you’re still mine

Tell me that we’ll be just fine

Even when I lose my mind

I need to say

Tell me that it’s not my fault

Tell me that I’m all you want

Even when I break your heart

I need to say
