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
