After all this time After all this time After all this time After all ... Talk about love, talk about living Talk about trying to be forgiving, now I don't see it Do as I say not as I do I never thought that was me and you, but that's how I've been treated We start out tender and so young Looking back now I see all the damage done And after all this time After all this time After all this time After all ... How to love, how to live The bittersweet gift we give Where we got it From my father, from your mother How we hurt one another, now Got to stop it It's not like you're the only one to blame Throw words like little knives, treat love like it's a game And after all this time After all this time After all this time After all ... Baby we both know how to tell a lie Do you think that just once before we die We could tell the truth after all this time And after all this time After all this time After all this time After all ... And after all this time After all, after all this time After all this time After all this time
