After I'm Gone

I see your tears and I feel your pain
I wish that I could take it all away
Feels like your world is coming to an end
You lost your happiness, and you lost your best friend

And though I wish I could, I could never explain
Why sometimes life isn't fair
And know that you, you will never be faced
With more than you can bear

After the tears
The pain disappears
And eventually, your heart will grow strong
Time has a way
Of healing the pain
And inevitably, life will go on
Even after I'm gone

One day you'll wake up with a smile on your face
And all the sadness will be erased
There's no amount of pain that time can't mend
Happiness, it waits for you just around the bend

And though it's hard to see, one day you will be free
Free from the clouds in your sky, your sky
'Cause the storm will mass, and those clouds, they will pass
When the darkness gives away to the light

After the tears
The pain disappears
And eventually, your heart will grow strong
Time has a way
Of healing the pain
And inevitably, life will go on
Even after I'm gone, yeah

Though the storms will rage
Don't you be afraid
Hold your head up high and be strong, be strong
You've got to forgive, though you will never forget
And though it's hard to see, one day you will be free

After the tears
The pain disappears
And eventually, your heart will grow strong
Time has a way
Of healing the pain
And inevitably, life will go on

After the tears
The pain disappears
And eventually, your heart will grow strong
