Love After You

Leave it to me, I just can't make it easy
I open and they walk in
They're nothing like you, oh, but the damage they'll do
Is gonna rip me a new one instead

And nobody warned me it'd hurt so bad
Loving again when I thought you had me
Moving on and starting anew

Love after you
Is like a kick in the chest from the inside
Laughing and crying all night
Guess you get what you ask for, oh
Love after you
Is a weight that I can't get away from
A melody I can't hum to
Asking something I can't choose
Did I ever really love you?

I was so sure it'd feel like before
A livable, laugh-it-off ache
Something I could live with but I'm
Tossing and turning
I'm hurting and yearning
What'd I do to deserve this?

Oh, nobody warned me it'd hurt so bad
Loving again when I thought you had me
Moving on and starting anew

Love after you
Is like a kick in the chest from the inside
Laughing and crying all night
Guess you get what you ask for, oh
Love after you
Is a weight that I can't get away from
A melody I can't hum to
Asking something I can't choose
Did I ever really love you?

Your love was something I could live without before
If love was even what we had
I didn't know what I was asking for
If this is love please take it back

Love after you
A miracle that's dying out
Every stupid poem you would write about
Is laughing in my hands
Love after you
A world I don't wanna waste
Praying I don't make the same mistakes
But I already am

Love after you
Is like a kick in the chest from the inside
Laughing and crying all night
Guess you get what you ask for, oh
Love after you
Is a weight that I can't get away from
A melody I can't hum to
Asking something I can't choose
Did I ever really love you?
