Lyrics
For the Credits
It?s the aftermath,
Of your night-long lover?s debut.
Did you have your fun,
Crawling on your knees?
And did you stay,
For the credits?
Did the artist play,
All his best work for you,
Toying with your soul,
With a stare so new?
And did you stay,
For the credits?
And were you thinking of me,
With your friend to be?
Lost amid his spell,
It?s your time to tell.
It?s the aftermath,
Of my yearlong season with you,
Did you have your fun,
Playing with my heart?
And I won?t stay,
For the credits.
