The Lover After Me
Here I go again!...I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today.It's been seven months and counting...You've moved on; I still feel exactly the same.It's just that everywhere I go, all the buildings know your name,Like photographs and memories of love.Steel and granite reminders...The city calls your name, and I can't move on.
Ever since you've been gone,The lights go out the same.The only difference isYou call another name!To your love, to your lover now...To your love, the lover after me.
The lover after me...
Am I all alone in the universe?There's no love on these streets.I have given mine away,To a world that didn't want it anyway!So this is my new freedom...It's funny, I don't remember being chained!But nothing seems to make sense anymore.Without you, I'm always 20 minutes late!
Ever since you've been gone,The lights go out the same.The only difference isYou call another name!To your love, to your lover now...To your love, the lover after me.
And time goes by so slowly...The nights are cold and lonely...I shouldn't be holding on,But I'm still holding on for you!!!
Here I go again...I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today.But I'm standing at your doorway...I'm calling out your name because I can't move on!!!
Ever since you've been gone,The lights go out the same.The only difference isYou call another name!To your love, to your lover now...To your love, the lover after me.
Ever since you've been gone,The lights go out the same.The only difference isYou call another name!To your love, to your lover now...To your love, the lover after me.
