Lyrics
AFTER ALL
VERSE
Maybe you're right
Maybe I was holding on too tight
And while I thought I was giving you everything
I was taking away what you need
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I was coming on too strong
Trying too hard to be the one you choose
The one who had so much to lose and
CHORUS
AFTER ALL, how could you love me through the walls I built around you
AFTER ALL, how could you live inside the fortress that surrounds you
If you hold me tight, we'll be ready for a fall
I know that I will always love you AFTER ALL
VERSE
Looking back I see
You became everything to me
Maybe all or nothing's not the only way
But nothing can convince you to stay and
CHORUS
AFTER ALL, how could you love me through the chains I wrapped around you
AFTER ALL, how could you live up to the dreams I dreamed around you
BRIDGE
If I could turn back the hands of time
There's no mistake that I would find worth repeating
Don't say now every chance is gone
It's for your love I'm holding on
VERSE
Maybe you're right
Maybe I shouldn't ask for one more night
Maybe I'm asking too much of you
But that's what you'd expect me to do
(Repeat Chorus and Fade)
