The Lover After Me

Here I go again

I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today

It's been seven months and counting

You moved on, I still feel exactly the same

It's just that everywhere I go

All the building know your name like

Photographs and memories of love

Steel and granite reminders

The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love, to your lover now

To your love

Lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?

There's no love on these streets

I have given mine away to a world

That didn't want it anyway

So this is my new freedom

It's funny I don't remember bein' chained

But nothing seems to make sense anymore

Without you I'm always twenty munutes late

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love, to your lover now

To your love

Lover after me

And time goes by so slowly

The nights are cold and lonely

I shouldn't be holdin' on

But I'm still holdin' on

For you

Ah

Here I go again

I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today

But I'm standin' at your doorway

I'm callin' out your name 'cause I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love, to your lover now

To your love

The lover after me

Ever since you've been gone (Oh, no, no)

The lights go out the same (Oh, no, no)

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love, to your lover now

To your love

Lover after me

The lover after me
