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've moved on 

I still feel exactly the same 

It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings 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 

The 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 being chained 

But nothing seems to make sense anymore 

Without you I'm always twenty minutes 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 

The lover after me 



And as time goes by so slowly 

The nights are cold and lonely 

I shouldn't be holding on 

But I'm still holding on for you 



Here I go again, I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today 

But I'm standing at your doorway 

I'm calling out your name because 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
