After All
Carissa Johnson
Dug my nails into the changing sky
I dug my heels into the high
Left all my roses behind
Left all their petals to dry
I've got no time to wait on lashes to fall
My heart's all I can rely on after all
I'd really like to stick around
Kick the dust and burn the sun to the ground
But I left all my phantoms behind
Left all their talk, talk, talk
I've got no time to wait on small minds to crawl
My heart's all I can rely on after all
Although the odds are stacked against
My queen of hearts this time
Although I'm in over my head
I'll never blend into the mire
Although the cards are stacked against me now
Although I'm in up to my chest
I'll never blend into the mire
I've got no time to wait on critics to call
My heart's all I can rely on after all
