After you
The lines on my face were easy to read
Feigned smiles said I would be okay
Every night and day
After you
The minutes crawl like hours
The hours slip away
Like a prayer that never finds her
Or the words I need to say
Moments I lost forever
Hang around to watch me grieve
The ghost who has no answers
And knows not when to leave
Like the leaves of a tree
Fallen to the ground
Taken by the wind and tossed around
The pain hits like raindrops
The raindrops wash away
Every moment lost forever
Every night that brought a day
After you
Like the leaves of a tree
Fallen to the ground
After you
