After The Divorce

Rewrite of Nelson's After The Rain

 

Looking in the mirror lately

All I see is a living dead girl

By now I think its time

You should know

I'm done living in this fantasy

Baby, we gotta let go

 

How did I ever love you?

When all you did was lie

Right from the very start

The only thing you ever gave me was a broken heart

 

Now I'm stronger

And I find

I'm not afraid to lose

What was never meant to be

 

Chorus

 

Whoa, after the divorce

Don't reach out with your fake fake tears

Done living with all that pain

After the divorce

Pray that I'll learn to be ok again

 

With you

I have known too much

Emptiness inside

Now if I don't break away

I don't think

Another day I will survive

 

I'm never again wasting my heart

Beating just for you

Go on and let go of my hand

Accept once and for all

We are thru

 

About damn time things did change

Gonna do now what I wanna do

 

Chorus

 

Whoa, whoa

After the divorce

After the divorce

Please God

Let the sun appear

To light a new way

Praying after the divorce

I can hope to find

My peace of mind again

 

Never really loved me from the start

All you ever did was break my heart

Go on and let go of my hand

You and I simply must be thru

You know the time is long past due

We both face the truth

 

Chorus

 

Whoa, whoa

After the divorce

Please God

Let the sun appear

To light a new way

Praying after the divorce 

I can hope to find

My peace of mind again

 

After the divorce

Whoa, whoa after the divorce

Will I ever be sane again?

 

Chorus
