​after you

[Chorus]
I was only chasing after you
I was only saving face but promise it was all for you
I'll cry at night so I can smile at you up in the afternoon
I know it's fine I'm not alright I swear that we gon' make it through
If you say our love is true, then I'll say it after you

[Verse 1]
And I'll keep writing stupid love songs
Even if they never reach you
It's hardest to admit when you've done wrong
But now I know I shouldn't miss you
But I still smoke your favourite cigarettes
Exhaling memories I should forget
I still catch glimpses of your silhouette
I wanna tell it what I most regret

[Bridge]
It's hard to live in this city
No matter where I go I only wish that you were with me
No matter where I look I only see you sitting pretty
I don't know where to run cause

[Chorus]
I was only chasing after you
I was only saving face but promise it was all for you
I'll cry at night so I can smile at you up in the afternoon
I know it's fine I'm not alright I swear that we gon' make it through
If you say our love is true, then I'll say it after you
Why would I own up to mistakes
Why would I try if it's easier to hate
Lies, telling lies, you can't claim that it was fate
It was all fake, I know I shouldn't stay

[Verse 2]
So go ahead and tell them all my secrets
Even though they're meant for your ears only
I'm so upset I believed that you would keep them
But even so I'll protect what you told me
I've reserved my heart for you, it's vacant
And I know just how easily you could find a replacement
No matter what has happened I will still keep on waitin'
So we can have our own happy ending

[Bridge]
It's hard to live in this town
No matter what I do I wish that you could see me now
No matter what I do I hope that I can make you proud
Cause after all

[Chorus]
I was only chasing after you
I was only saving face but promise it was all for you
I'll cry at night so I can smile at you up in the afternoon
I know it's fine I'm not alright I swear that we gon' make it through
If you say our love is true, then I'll say it after you
There ain't no love where we come from
Yeah it's just a stupid love song
Hope I made u feel a little comfortable
It's just you n me against the world
