After love has gone

There's an emptiness where you used to be
A quiet that settles inside of me
The laughter's faded, the echoes remain
In the rooms where we danced, in the pouring rain

I still feel the warmth where you held my hand
But now I'm left alone to understand

After love has gone, what do we become?
Two broken hearts, searching for the sun
We built our dreams, we watched them fall
Now I'm here picking up the pieces of it all
After love has gone, it's just memories and scars
Left to find out who we really are

I see traces of us in the songs we knew
In every note, I feel a ghost of you
Time moves slowly, but it carries on
Leaving me with the ache of what's gone wrong

I'd give anything to turn back time
But love doesn't stop at the end of the line

After love has gone, what do we become?
Two broken hearts, searching for the sun
We built our dreams, we watched them fall
Now I'm here picking up the pieces of it all
After love has gone, it's just memories and scars
Left to find out who we really are

We thought we'd last, we thought we'd stay
But love has a way of slipping away
Now all that's left are whispers and tears
Learning to live with the silence and fears

After love has gone, what do we become?
Two broken hearts, searching for the sun
We built our dreams, we watched them fall
Now I'm here picking up the pieces of it all
After love has gone, it's just memories and scars
Left to find out who we really are

So here I stand, finding strength to move on
In a world that's quiet, where you're gone
After love has gone, I'm learning to be
Someone new, someone free
