I don't know if I can explain it
'Cause there's really nothing different at all
The sun still burns
And the earth still turns
And the winter still follows the fall
I knew that it wouldn't be easy
For my heart to find somebody new
But I never thought it still would be broken into
These years after you

They tell me time is a natural healer
It kinda smooths the pain away
But this hurtin' within hasn't yet given in
And it's been over two thousand days
I still remember the taste of your kisses
And your eyes that were beautifully blue
I can still hear the sound of your voice
When you said we were through
There years after you

Years after years after you
I'm still cryin'
Tears after years after you
I'm still tryin' to make it through
These years after you

There've been mornings when I couldn't wake up
There've been evenings when I couldn't sleep
My life will be fine for months at a time
Then I'll break down and cry for a week
'Cause when I told you I'd love you forever
I know you didn't think it was true
But forever is nothing compared to some nights I've been blue
These years after you

Years after years after you
I'm still cryin'
Tears after years after you
I'm still tryin' to make it through
These years after you
