After the Fact

You know, a man can only take so much

Then he's forced to let go of the things he loves

I tried to tell you all along

You weren't being smart just headstrong

You liked to argue just to see who'd win

You didn't know the stronger lover always gives in

After the fact

Well you know it's too late and I'm not coming back

After the fact

You said you made a mistake but there's no more tomorrow

After the fact

Well there's no one to blame when love fades away

All the could haves and all the should haves

Never had a chance, now it's all in the past

So why'd you wait till now to say what you should have said before

You only think of it as I'm walking out the door

After the fact

Well you know it's too late and I'm not coming back

After the fact

You said you made a mistake, I'm telling you that it's over

After the fact

Well there's no one to blame when love fades away

Too bad at the time you did not understand

You were holding all of me, all of me

All of me in the palm of your hand

After the fact

Well you know it's too late and I'm not coming back, no

After the fact

You said you made a mistake, I'm telling you that it's over

After the fact

Well you know it's too late and I'm not coming back, no

After the fact

You said you made a mistake, I'm telling you that it's over

After the fact

Well you know it's too late and I'm not coming back, no

After the fact

You said you made a mistake, but there's no more tomorrow
