After You by ROTR
well something is broken
the wound has been opened
now nothing is holding me down
i’d rather be lonely
than call you my only
while you think of me as a clown
you call it a a choice but
i don’t have a voice
and your attitude cuts like a knife
but that doesn’t matter
it’s all baby batter
a stain on the blue dress of life
after you - went away
after you - i’m okay
after you i’m feeling better every day
after you - knocked me down
after you - played around
after you there’s gotta be a better way
well i’m losing sleep and
i need some relief from
the scenes playing out in my mind
you treat me so mean
and a recessive gene
seems to bring out the worst of your kind
they call you a winner
they call you survivor
well i don’t know how much is true
the evidence damns you
and no one commands you
to do all the things that you do
after you - went away
after you - i’m okay
after you i’m feeling better every day
after you - knocked me down
after you - played around
after you there’s gotta be a better way
