After All This Time
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Through all these years
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Despite my shed tears
The doubt, the fear, the hate come creeping in
I put up these walls so you won’t see
The pain I’m living with
You just say you’ll let me be
When my walls slowly crumble
Before they come crashing down
I know you’ll catch me when I stumble
But I need someone to anchor me to this ground
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Through all these years
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Despite my shed tears
My joy, my laugh, where have they gone?
I’m not the person I thought I was
That voice tells me I don’t belong
I play along just because
Doubt has taken the reins
Fear has made me a hollow she’ll
Hate drives away what remains
How did I fall under this spell?
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Through all these years
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Despite my shed tears
I am under the control
Of the thoughts swirling in my head
How am I here? It’s a miracle
My heart beats and yet it’s dead
My bones are broken, they’ll never mend
My skin is bruised and yet I shine
My blood is frozen in my veins
This smile I wear isn’t mine
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Through all these years
After all this time
You’re still here
After all this time
Despite my shed tears
I lay my faults before you, bare
I beg for your help, forgiveness, patience
Because I know you care
I don’t want to waste this
Your love is what keeps me here
You guide me down this winding road
You’re the only one who will venture near
My doubt will implode
