Afterall (Revised) Lyrics

I still love you
I still want you
I still need you
After all

For better or worse,
Sickness and health.
till death do us part
After all

Please dont keep me
(Please dont leave me)
Please dont keep me
(Please dont leave me)
Please dont keep me
(Please dont leave me)
After all (repeat til fade)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song (actually titled "After Afterall") is part two to the song called "Afterall" on the previous album, Goodnight.

This entire album is based on William's previous marriage and it's disintegration. This first "stage" if you will is William stating that after all the hardships that his relationship has been through, he wants to make those marriage vows ring true (for better or worse, in sickness and health, til death do us part).

The second part shows a realization that after all the hardships the relationship has been through, the damage is irreconcilable in his mind- (please don't keep me) but the female voice wants to make it work (please don't leave me).

i also think of it, personally, as meaning "please don't leave me... after all this," and, conversely, "please don't keep me... i'm not worth it."
