After All

I asked her for a smile, she couldn't, I don't know why
Could it be that it's all over?
Such a short love affair, I feel it's so unfair
But what can I do to keep this love, oh, so true?

The feelings can't be gone, we've only just begun
Now why must we end it?
I feel we should go on 'cause I could feel the fire's warmth
The sparks of love that keep it shining on

I'll be standing here, even though it's through
I have this space in my heart for you
I don't know how I'll fake it and I doubt if I can make it
And if you get to realize, just turn and look into my eyes
'Cause then you'd come to know that it was me, after all

You know we still have time, it's not too late to change your mind
Why must we end it? (Why? Why?)
I feel we should go on 'cause I could feel the fire's warmth
The sparks of love that keep it shining on

I'll be standing here, even though it's through
I have this space in my heart for you (I have this space in my heart for you)
I don't know how I'll fake it and I doubt if I can make it
And if you get to realize, just turn and look into my eyes (just turn and look)
'Cause then you'd come to know (then you'd come to know) that it was me, after all

Standing here, even though it's through (that it was me, after all)
I have this space in my heart for you

I'll be standing here, even though it's through (standing here, even though it's through)
I have this space in my heart for you (have this space in my heart for you)
I don't know how I'll fake it (I don't know how I'll fake it) and I doubt if I can make it (I don't know how)
And if you get to realize, just turn and look into my eyes
'Cause then you'd come to know that it was me (then you'd come to know that it was me)
After all

Ooh (ah)
