AFTER YOU‘

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.
