After That Pain
Look in the mirror, lady
By now ho you should know
I'm through living in your fantasy
Long ago I let you go
Never really loved me from the start
All you ever gave me was a broken heart
No, no I'm no longer afraid
To lose what was never meant to be
After that pain
I washed away the last of my tears
All of my many fears
Only after that pain
Did I understand
I could never love you the same again
No, I don't feel anymore that emptiness inside
Thinking that from you if I ever broke away
On my own
I'd never survive
Done waiting
Sitting around
Suspending my life
Just for you
Livin' a still life
No life at all
Come on and let go of my hand
We are so through
You would't change
So I had to
After that pain
I washed away my tears
After that pain
Only after that final pain
Did I understand
Just why I could never
Stand by your side again
After that pain
I saw the sun for the first time
Went my own way
Only after that pain
Did I have hope one day I'd be happy again
Never really loved me from the start
All you ever did was give me a broken heart
Come on and let go of my hand
Cause we are so through
You know has come
For us both to face the truth
After that pain
I washed away my tears
After that pain
Only after that final pain
Did I understand
Just why I could never
Stand by your side again
After that pain
I saw the sun for the first time
Went my own way
Only after that pain
Did I have hope one day I'd be happy again
After that pain
