(Hi, friends! Click the HD button on the bottom right of the video before watching. Keep reading for the lyrics). I think that flaws and mistakes are beautiful, so I don’t hold grudges and am quick to forgive. Unfortunately, this tendency has made me give “second chances” that I shouldn’t have. I wrote this song after learning the hard way that not forgetting is just as important as forgiving. Excuse the distortion and painful piano playing mid-bridge. If, for some strange reason, you would like this poor-quality mp3 recording for your musical device, you can inbox me and I will try not to judge you. Thank you once again for the overwhelming support, everybody! After the Smoke Clears (© 2014, Jamie Anne Bentz) I tried to tell you long before now/ We could make it work/ I did my part to make it painless/ But I always got hurt/ You knew which strings to pull to make me/ Move from that safe place/ I kept around me just to keep you/ From pulling me close and then pushing me away/ But suddenly after four years/ You’re saying “after the smoke clears”/ (Chorus) If I could give you one more chance to build something out of the ashes/ You left behind you when you decided to play with matches/ If you could see the burns you’ve made after all these years/ After the smoke clears/ After the smoke clears/ You tell me I’m your one regret/ I wonder if you’d say that to her/ I tried too hard to believe you were there/ From the start, but darling you never were/ But you’ll see it all, you’ll see it all right here/ Honey now that the smoke’s cleared/ (Repeat Chorus) What you never said still echoes in my mind/ This is what you get when the fuel you put to me is time/ I needed you/ But couldn’t see through/ The smoke you left behind/ Leaving me to find/ That yes/ (Repeat Chorus x2) If you look closer/ You’ll see I’m smarter/ After all these years/ Now that the smoke’s cleared/ (x3)
