After All · letra

I stumble to the mirror Say everything's all right But the man in the mirror never lies The aging face I see staring back at me Shows the years, shows the miles
Now I'm no perfect husband But I do so love my wife And my kids are the greatest gift I know But sometimes when I'm alone I still wrestle with my soul And start feeling out of place Like a lost boy trying to get back home
But after all The heartache and the pain All the bridges I have crossed And the ones I've left in flames After all The sorrow and regret All the times I've turned away When You'd call, You still love me After all The story of my life I keep hidden deep inside Like a book collecting dust upon a shelf But it's there inside of me That man that no one sees The one that falls apart But I'm strong enough to never let it show
Still after all The heartache and the pain All the bridges I have crossed And the ones I've left in flames After all The sorrow and regret All the times I've turned away When You'd call, You still love me After all
Now I don't pretend to know Why the truth has been so slow To go the distance From my head down to my heart I know the journey's not that great But for all the time it takes I'd swear that we were worlds apart Still after all The heartache and the pain All the bridges I have crossed And the ones I've left in flames After all The sorrow and regret All the times I've turned away When You'd call, You still love me After all
