The Lover After Me Lyrics

Here I go again
I promised myself ...I wouldnt think of you today
Its been seven months and counting
Youve moved on
I still feel exactly the same
Its just the that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name
Like photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I cant move on

Ever since youve been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
Theres no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world that didnt want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
Its funny
I dont remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you Im always twenty minutes late

Ever since youve been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldnt be holding on
But Im still holding on for you

Here I go again
I promised myself I wouldnt think of you today
But Im standing at your doorway
Im calling out your name because I cant move on

Ever since youve been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
