(Yeah... after love... after love...)
(It hurts the most, man)
(Devan, you really changed the game...)
We built a home in late night talks
Now I’m sleeping in these empty walls
You said forever, but forever had an expiry
Left me reading old texts like a diary
I’m smiling for the gram but I’m breaking inside
Learned the hard way that love can lie
Gave you all of me, you gave me goodbye
Now I’m drowning in memories I can’t deny
After love, after love
My heart is bleeding but I’m putting on a show
After love, after love
Devan, where did all the magic go?
Every beat of my chest, it’s calling your name
Walking through the rain, I’m feeling the shame
After love, it’s just the pain that remains
I see your ghost in the streets of Lusaka
Every shadow looks like you, it’s a joker
I try to focus, try to keep my head straight
But your memory is moving at a heavy weight
Was it all for show? Was it just a game?
Now I’m screaming to the silence, calling out your name
I’m trying to heal, trying to find a way
But the night is cold, and the clouds are grey
I’m moving on, but the ghosts don’t leave
I’m finding peace, but I still can’t breathe
Yeah, Devan, you left a mark on my soul
Now I’m just trying to make my spirit whole
After love, after love
My heart is bleeding but I’m putting on a show
After love, after love
Devan, where did all the magic go?
Every beat of my chest, it’s calling your name
Walking through the rain, I’m feeling the shame
After love, it’s just the pain that remains
Just the pain that remains...
Yeah, it hurts the most...
After love...
