Rewrite of Nelson's After The Rain
Looking in the mirror lately
All I see is a living dead girl
By now I think its time
You should know
I'm done living in this fantasy
Baby, we gotta let go
How did I ever love you?
When all you did was lie
Right from the very start
The only thing you ever gave me was a broken heart
Now I'm stronger
And I find
I'm not afraid to lose
What was never meant to be
Chorus
Whoa, after the divorce
Don't reach out with your fake fake tears
Done living with all that pain
After the divorce
Pray that I'll learn to be ok again
With you
I have known too much
Emptiness inside
Now if I don't break away
I don't think
Another day I will survive
I'm never again wasting my heart
Beating just for you
Go on and let go of my hand
Accept once and for all
We are thru
About damn time things did change
Gonna do now what I wanna do
Chorus
Whoa, whoa
After the divorce
After the divorce
Please God
Let the sun appear
To light a new way
Praying after the divorce
I can hope to find
My peace of mind again
Never really loved me from the start
All you ever did was break my heart
Go on and let go of my hand
You and I simply must be thru
You know the time is long past due
We both face the truth
Chorus
Whoa, whoa
After the divorce
Please God
Let the sun appear
To light a new way
Praying after the divorce
I can hope to find
My peace of mind again
After the divorce
Whoa, whoa after the divorce
Will I ever be sane again?
Chorus
