Life After Death

Written by Zachary Myers Theriault · 2017–2018, 2020

[Verse 1]

I’ve never had such a hard time
Starting a song, writing the first line
But denying the truth will only normalize
These feelings of doubt that you always provide

We never seem to cross the finish line
I’ve tried my best, now you’re falling behind
Catch up love, we’re running out of time
There’s a ghost in this race, I can’t tell if he’s mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Even though my heart is aching
I never wanna let you go
What are we doing here my love
I just don’t know
But I need to know

[Chorus]

Is there life after death?
Is there peace after war?
Is there joy after sad?
Is there a point to it all?
Is there a point to it all?

[Verse 2]

You took a month to only realize
That you weren’t happy by my side
I waited for you, you took me by surprise
When I opened that letter and read the first line

We never got to cross the finish line
I’ve tried my best, now you’ve made up your mind
Goodbye love, we have ran out of time
There’s a ghost in this heart, I know he isn’t mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Even though my soul is breaking
I never wanna let you go
Why are you doing this my love
I just don’t know
But I need to know

[Chorus]

Is there life after death?
Is there peace after war?
Is there joy after sad?
Is there a point to it all?
Is there a point to it all?

Is there love after hate?
Is there wealth after poor?
Is there me after you?
Is there a point to it all?
Is there a point to it all?
Is there a point to it all?

[Spoken Outro]

A million times I called you
But you won’t pick up the phone
You loved me when it’s convenient
And dumped me when you broke
I did my best to love you
And I always held out hope
That soon we’d be together
And the rest of our lives would unfold
But now that it is over
There’s just one thing I need to know
