For a while, to love was all we could do
We were young and we knew
In our eyes, we're alive
Deep inside, we knew our love was true
For a while, we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night somethin' right
Would invite us to begin the day
Somethin' happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, whoa, whoa, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
♪
For a while, to love each other with all
We would ever need love was strong for so long
Never knew that what was wrong
Oh baby, wasn't right
We tried to find what we had
'Til sadness was all we shared
We were scared
This affair would lead our love in two
Somethin' happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Somethin' happened along the way
And yesterday was all we had
And oh, after the love has gone
How could you lead me on
And not let me stay around?
Oh, whoa, whoa, after the love has gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that's lost be found?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
After the love has gone (after the love has gone)
How could you lead me on (how could you?)
And not let me stay around?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, after the love has gone
Can a love that's lost be found?
After the love has gone
