VERSE 1
I see you now.
Different hands on your waist.
Same smile…
but not for me.
I had my chance.
I played it cool.
Too cool.
Too long.
Too late.
PRE-CHORUS
And damn—
I feel it hit.
Right in the place
I thought was dead.
CHORUS
’Cause after you
I’m just a ghost in the room.
Watching you breathe
for someone new.
Yeah…
after you
I’m just a shadow that moves.
But baby—
I still break
when I look at you.
After you… after you.
VERSE 2
You lean in close.
He gets the look
I used to chase.
Funny, right?
I wasted years
thinking you’d wait.
You didn’t.
Why would you?
PRE-CHORUS
And damn—
it burns again.
Guess some fires
don’t stay dead.
CHORUS
’Cause after you
I’m just a ghost in the room.
Watching you fall
into someone new.
Yeah…
after you
I’m just a shadow that moves.
But baby—
I still break
when I look at you.
After you… after you.
BRIDGE
No begging.
No crying.
Just truth:
I wanted you.
Too late.
Too slow.
Too blind
to know.
FINAL CHORUS
After you
I’m just the echo you outgrew.
And damn—
I wish I knew
how to love you
before I lost you.
