After the Fire Lyrics

It tears me apart just to know
That you're not there
It hurts me to know
To know that you no longer care
Our love is gone, what we had we chose to break
Forever alone, we learn to live with our mistake
Now that the fire of love is over
Now that everything's so clear
How I wish that I could tell you
What I"d give to have you near

Chorus
After the fire of love has broken
After the flame of life has gone
After the words of hate are spoken
Who takes the blame and stands alone

strange dreams in the night seem to call
To call your name
I can"t take anymore
Your hold on me it has to break
Now that the fire of love is over
Now that everything's so clear
How I wish that I could tell you
What |"d give to have you near
After the fire of love has broken
After the flame of life has gone
After the words of hate are spoken
Who takes the blame and stands alone
All alone
Who stands alone, oh, oh

Solo

It tears me apart
Just to know that you're not three
It hurts me to know
To know that you no longer care
Now that the fire of love is over
Now that everything's so clear
How I wish that I could tell you
What I"d give to have you near
After the fire of love has broken
After the flame of life has gone
After the words of hate are spoken
Who takes the blame and stands alone

After the fire of love has broken
After the flame of life has gone
After the words of hate are spoken
Who takes the blame and stands alone

After the fire
After the flame
After the words
Who takes the blame
And stands alone
