AFTER YOU

“AFTER YOU”

Verse 1
I still sleep on your side of the bed,
Like your ghost is still holding my hand.
I tell everybody I’m over it,
But I don’t think they understand.

Your picture’s still stuck in my phone,
I never had the heart to delete.
I hate that I’m better alone,
But I miss who I was when you needed me.

Pre-Chorus
And I know, I know,
We were never meant to last.
But why does letting go
Feel like losing my past?

Chorus
I’m still breathing after you,
But I don’t know how to live.
I gave you all the love I had,
You took everything I couldn’t give.

Now I’m dancing with the memories,
Crying where nobody sees.
I’m still breathing after you…
But there’s nothing left of me.

Verse 2
I hear your name in crowded rooms,
I see your face in strangers’ eyes.
I keep expecting you to call,
Even though I know you won’t tonight.

You said forever like a promise,
Then left me with a goodbye.
Now I’m learning how to lose you
Without asking myself why.

Pre-Chorus
And I know, I know,
Some things are better left behind.
But every time I close my eyes,
You’re still the first thing on my mind.

Chorus
I’m still breathing after you,
But I don’t know how to live.
I gave you all the love I had,
You took everything I couldn’t give.

Now I’m dancing with the memories,
Crying where nobody sees.
I’m still breathing after you…
But there’s nothing left of me.

Bridge
Maybe one day I’ll hear our song
And it won’t tear me apart.
Maybe I’ll finally understand
You were never my forever, just my hardest part.

Final Chorus
I’m still breathing after you,
And maybe that’s enough.
I’m learning how to love myself
After giving you too much.

I’ll stop dancing with the memories,
I’ll let the past release me.
I’m still breathing after you…
And maybe now I’m finally free.

Outro
After you…
I’m finding me.
After you…
I’m finally free.
